User talk:FERDA1738/Misinformation

Things to work on for your Week 9 continued edits:

Evaluate an article: You didn't do the evaluation assignment on the article you are actually doing. I recommend going back through that exercise and working through the article you are working on to help you strategize what needs to be changed. Then you can out that list in the talk page for the Sandbox that includes all of your edits and cross things off as you do them (you can also edit what I have said on this talk page and cross things off as you complete them).
Copyedits: A good start, but when you copyedit make sure you publish as you go and are explicit in explaining what you did when you publish the edit. You also should go through bold what you have edited so it is clear where you are making changes.
Bibliography: Your bibliography does not have any content as you did not do that assignment. You only have one source listed in your sandbox, but as added it is impossible to tell if they are peer-reviewed academic sources.
Citing sources: You need to move over the citation you added in this sandbox to the main one you are working in: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:FERDA1738/sandbox
Adding media/hyperlinks: Good hyperlinks, but when you publish those edits you need to include what specifically you hyperlinked. You should go through and see if there are things that should be hyperlinks in whatever you add and the existing article. The image you added is fine, but be sure before you add media to the live Wikipedia article that it is actually necessary or contributes to the article (that is, you had to do it for this assignment, but in your final Wikipedia contributions don't add it just to add it).
Overall: You seem to be doing things week by week, but now you really need to focus on the bigger picture of what you plan to add/edit here. Is there more in the existing article that needs copyediting? More citations you can use to expand on the sections you said needed to be developed more? The more planning you can do now the easier it will be for you to chip away at those edits between now and November 22 when you need to move your final edits to live Wikipedia.

Week 12 Feedback: Throughout you need to fix your citations as they are not appearing correctly throughout. You also need a minimum of one more academic citation, as right now you only have one. Throughout you also need to revise to more neutral language.
This sentence for instance: "Misleading information about the virus ran rampant as it began to spread worldwide in March of 2020, and it posed a public health risk like none seen before." "Rampant" and "like none seen before" are statements that either need to be supported by citations or rewritten to be neutral enough that they do not need citations.
The section on Brexit could also be rewritten to be a bit clearer.
