Article Evaluation

Google has many products and services available online. Some products include advertising and search engine.[1] Everything in this article is relevant to the topic because it is made by Google. Nothing has really distracted me because everything is on topic and is heavily supported with sources.The article is leaning towards the website of Google because that is what the topic is. It talks about Google being the largest search engine in the United States market.[1] There was also an advertising agreement between Yahoo and Google, but it never went through because they never realized the antitrust concerns from the U.S. Department of Justice. As a result, Google ended up backing out of the agreement.[1] I think that the viewpoints of Google are overrepresented because it talks mainly about googles site and how it competes with other major competitors. The links to the citations work and are good supporting sources for each subdivision of the google wikipedia page. Facts on this page are appropriate and reliable sources because most of the sources come from news articles and experts in this field. The sources are biased because they support Google sources over its major competitors. Everything is up to date, all sources are from recent years. I haven't noticed anything that is missing from this wikipedia page. The talk page consisted of the google memo which mentions gender diversity within googles company and the downfall of their phone users.[2] The article was rated a C, I do not know if it is part of any WikiProjects. The talk page has some interesting debates whether the company doesn't have diversity in their gender because they believed that the memo said that women were "ill-qualified to work in technology."[2] This stirred up a lot of controversy on the talk page because some people perceived the memo as google believing that women weren't qualified to work in technology because it isn't a field that they excel in. Our conversations in class are about the contribution women have made in science and how they have been robbed of their achievements. It is important to see that women have made this contribution because it'll help how we see women in society today. Some people on the talk page fought that this statement that women aren't qualified to work for google shouldn't be on the wikipedia page because it is false information. [2] We also mention that women couldn't participate in science because they weren't qualified to work in these fields because it was male dominated. This topic is visible in the talk page of the article and some are pro-diversity while others want to leave it the way it is. There is a lot of arguments talking about the source being unreliable and just a lie being covered up by workers within the news companies, but others say that they cannot make that decision and it should be left the way it is. I think that if this statement is true, it is unfair that women have to deal with a problem like this. Not being able to work for a company based on their biology. I believe that women should be able to work in any field based on their strong suit and what they themselves can do best. This is a topic we go over in class a lot because most of the class believes that women shouldn't be restricted in the work force just because of their gender.
