WikiProject Choices[edit]

Choice 1:[edit]

Main article: Internet in the United Kingdom OR Digital Divide by Country (can be added to either)

New Section: Digital Divide in United Kingdom

Brief Summary: It relates to the Digital Divide and it focuses on the United Kingdom. There is no digital divide section on the United Kingdom and we can add a fair amount of information on the topic.

Choice 2:[edit]

Main article: Digital Divide by Country

New Section: Digital Divide in Mexico

Brief Summary: Mexico's sharp divide among internet users and those with no access. Although there is some information on Wikipedia regarding Internet in Mexico, there is a ton of missing information on the digital divide.

Choice 3:[edit]

Main article: Censorship in Ireland OR Censorship in United Kingdom

New Section: Censorship during the Troubles

Brief Summary: This will be about censorship of information during the era of the IRA in Northern Ireland. We will eventually learn about censorship in our class.

Main article: Internet in Iceland

New Section: Digital Divide in Iceland

Brief Summary: It is focusing on the Digital Divide in Iceland. There is currently no section for

digital divide on this particular Wikipedia page.

Article Evaluation[edit]

The article I picked was "Concussions in American football". There were several things I noticed in this article. I think that several formatting changes could help this article out. The article greatly focused on Concussions in the National Football league. One problem I found with this was that the subheading "A League of Denial". This author of this section seemed very biased and anti-NFL. While I do agree that there were many things the NFL has done wrong, the NFL has also funded many studies and technologies which the article talks about, but it is just further down the article. I think that this section should be moved up into the NFL section because it seems deceptive to me. I also think that this "A League of Denial" could be updated because there are not many recent dated cited and in the world that we live in, concussions are a very controversial topic.

The citations in the article are good for the most part. One thing that I saw was that there were several wiki-links that didn't direct properly, such as "Men's Lacrosse" and "Men's Ice Hockey". The article is part of several Wikiprojects, most being about football. On the talk page there were some unrelated content that had nothing to do with the article. The article is also a C-class article.
