Test

Here's your first test!

This test is based on seven questions.

• Some questions will have right or wrong answers,
• Others are just designed to check if you are thinking in the right way.
• There is no time limit - answer in your own words, and we'll talk about your answers.

Please note: that simple and short yes/no answers are not acceptable in this test, nor in any future tests.

1. Your best friend says that the Diary of a Wimpy Kid film "is the stupidest and most boring movie ever". Can you add this to the article? Why or why not?

   Answer: No, it is an opinion and can not be verified by a reliale source. It can not be cited.

2. A blog titled "John Doe Fan Blog", that has no affiliation with the subject, states that John Doe will be going to Hong Kong on 7 July. No other source confirms this fact, so can you add this to Wikipedia? Why or why not?

   Answer: No, only verifiable facts can or should be added.

3. Is the official Facebook page of KFC a reliable source?

   Answer: If it has a verifiable source for the information being written about.

4. Imagine that you come across a new article created by a new editor. You decide to do a minor copyedit and fix some spelling and grammar errors. 10 minutes later, you get a message from the editor who created the article, saying: "STOP CHANGING MY ARTICLE! I made it and you have no right to edit it without my permission. It's my intellectual property and therefore I own the copyright." How do you respond?

   Answer: With integrity and tact. "My apologies, It was my intention to change your work. I admire it and thought that by correctig the errors would give it the prestigue it deserves".

5. You have just discovered from a friend that the new Chevrolet Malibu is only going to be available in red. Can you add this to the Chevy Malibu article?　Why or why not?

   Answer: Only if I can use a verifible source for citing.

6. Would you consider BBC News a reliable source on The Troubles? What about on ITV?

   Answer: Yes to both. A news source as a rule of reliabiliy check their source before presenting it.

7. Everybody knows that the sky is blue, right? An editor doesn't agree - he says it is bronze. Does he need a source?

   Answer: Yes. He may be color blind and for that reason he has to have verifiable proof that it is bronze. Only if he is describing the sky during a natural occurace (i.e. sunset) is he allowed to not have a source.
