General info

Lead

[edit]

Guiding questions:

  • Has the Lead been updated to reflect the new content added by your peer?
    • Not really, my peer took the last two sentences of the original lead and made them more concise and inclusive, but did not make mention of the added info on fanfictions.
  • Does the Lead include an introductory sentence that concisely and clearly describes the article's topic?
    • Yes, this is almost the same as the original intro sentence
  • Does the Lead include a brief description of the article's major sections?
    • Yes
  • Does the Lead include information that is not present in the article?
    • No
  • Is the Lead concise or is it overly detailed?
    • It is concise but, again, does not include some of what is mentioned in the body paragraphs

Content

[edit]

Guiding questions:

  • Is the content added relevant to the topic?
    • For sure, fan fictions are a great example of remix culture and should be included in the article
  • Is the content added up-to-date?
    • Yes
  • Is there content that is missing or content that does not belong?
    • Perhaps my peer is not done with adding this information yet but there could be more written about examples of fan fictions or how they fit in to remix culture
  • Does the article deal with one of Wikipedia's equity gaps? Does it address topics related to historically underrepresented populations or topics?
    • Yes, it talks about the effect of the remix culture on musical artists for example

Tone and Balance

[edit]

Guiding questions:

  • Is the content added neutral?
    • Yes, it simply provides reliable info on fanfictions
  • Are there any claims that appear heavily biased toward a particular position?
    • No
  • Are there viewpoints that are overrepresented, or underrepresented?
    • I feel like since there is so much remixing done in music today that there should be more on this in the article. Maybe find new examples of remixes influencing culture or vice versa.
  • Does the content added attempt to persuade the reader in favor of one position or away from another?
    • No

Sources and References

[edit]

Guiding questions:

  • Is all new content backed up by a reliable secondary source of information?
    • Yes, my peer used sources throughout the new content added
  • Are the sources thorough - i.e. Do they reflect the available literature on the topic?
    • From what I know, they cover a decent amount of info on remixing
  • Are the sources current?
    • Yes, all from 2009 or later
  • Are the sources written by a diverse spectrum of authors? Do they include historically marginalized individuals where possible?
    • Decently so, I think the sources include info on diverse topics and concern some minority points of view
  • Check a few links. Do they work?
    • Yes they all work

Organization

[edit]

Guiding questions:

  • Is the content added well-written - i.e. Is it concise, clear, and easy to read?
    • Yes, my peer definitely focuses on conciseness. I'd like to see some more evidence for claims like " Fanfiction encourages reading"
  • Does the content added have any grammatical or spelling errors?
    • (in the paragraph about fan fiction): ..."are generally made with no monetary gain to be made" is redundant. "Fanfiction encourages reading, and since..." comma after the "and"
  • Is the content added well-organized - i.e. broken down into sections that reflect the major points of the topic?
    • Only one section added , and it focuses on a subtopic

[edit]

  • Does the article include images that enhance understanding of the topic?
  • Are images well-captioned?
  • Do all images adhere to Wikipedia's copyright regulations?

For New Articles Only

[edit]

If the draft you're reviewing is a new article, consider the following in addition to the above.

  • Does the article meet Wikipedia's Notability requirements - i.e. Is the article supported by 2-3 reliable secondary sources independent of the subject?
  • How exhaustive is the list of sources? Does it accurately represent all available literature on the subject?
  • Does the article follow the patterns of other similar articles - i.e. contain any necessary infoboxes, section headings, and any other features contained within similar articles?
  • Does the article link to other articles so it is more discoverable?

Overall impressions

[edit]

Guiding questions:

  • Has the content added improved the overall quality of the article - i.e. Is the article more complete?
    • Yes, as I would consider fan fiction a significant portion of remixes and remix culture
  • What are the strengths of the content added?
    • Concise, unbiased, uses diverse references
  • How can the content added be improved?
    • Fix some grammar and syntax stuff. Add more about fanfiction and look for other sections already in the original article that can be added to.
