Hey Megan, I'm very glad to make your acquaintance :)

Neutrality My definition of neutrality is similar to that of 'neutral'. It is having the absence of strong views to eliminate biases. New Definition- Presenting a neutral stance to eliminate biases to preserve personal opinion and interpretation. Evaluating Sources How do we define 'good' sources? We commonly define a good source by the credentials/ sources stated in the cite. Whether it is a book, journal, magazine or website. Primary sources are safe, like government issued facts. Secondary sources such as scholarly sources are also credible. These are peer reviewed within the exert community. What types of sources should be Excluded from Wikipedia? Fake news should be excluded. Sources that don't seem credible. One in which seems "spotty" or the odd source that doesn't match up with the topic and related source. This will lead to many misconceptions and wrong facts in public opinion; also creating biases. Authorship How might this change the content of Wikipedia? Wiki ED foundation partnerships have the possibility of changing the content of Wikipedia because of censorship within the potential authors. They control who edits the pages.

Peer review[edit]

Hello Meghan! Its your partner Krissie Borrero. I see that your topic is National agency for education(Sweden). I have read the page and its very short so there are so many options for you on what you can add. Maybe start by going back to who created it and where the ideas came from. Hope to hear some feed back from you soon! Krissieb (talk) 19:22, 19 March 2018 (UTC)krissieb[reply]
