Course Collision

Hello. Thank you for contacting me. As part of our (https://dashboard.wikiedu.org/courses/Rutgers_University/Language_and_Law_(Spring_2020)) course, the roles that my group are taking consist of a public facing linguist and a forensic linguistic analyst. My and another classmates specific roles are that of the linguistic analyst. This means some of the questions were aiming for in (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Author_profiling) are the following: Does the source support the claims in the article? Is there evidence of plagiarism or too-close paraphrase? Do any sentences or phrases seem like they're not written in the Wikipedia "voice" or style? Is each fact referenced with an appropriate, reliable reference? Where does the information come from? Are these neutral sources? If biased, is that bias noted?. As both of our groups are well into this article, it doesn't seem right to give one another the boot. If you could let me know what your role is for this article, we will be able to better accommodate each other.Rblonski (talk) 22:24, 31 March 2020 (UTC)Rblonski

Hi, thank you for your reply Rblonski. For our graded assginment, we will mainly be improving on the content of the article, with the aim of making the article a good article. As such, we will re-organise some of the existing content and write a more detailed lede, but most of our time will be spent on adding content. We plan to add the following to the Author_profiling article:

• Overview (History and Recent Developments)
• Methods (Classical, Computational)
• Author Profiling and the Internet
• Applications (Forensic Linguistics, Cybersecurity and Marketing)
• Author Profiling in Popular Culture

We will start putting up our content and making other improvements by 3 April 2020 (the assignment is due 10 April 2020). It seems to me that our roles are quite different, but the addition of content and edits on our end may affect your analysis. Could I find out more about the specific improvements you will be making to the page? Would the improvements mainly consist of edits based on your analysis of the existing content for neutrality, style etc. (as you've described above) or would you be adding content as well?

If it's the former, one way I think we could go about working on this together is if your team works on improving the overview (i.e. the existing content), while we focus our efforts on the other sections that we have proposed (and maybe you could let your course instructor know about this arrangement). Do let me know how you would like to collaborate!
