Wikipedia article critique

Hello, this is for my media literacy class in which we provide insight into a Wikipedia article, so please consider that when reading this post. -Based on the links and sources in the article, every fact has reliable reference to go with it. There’s a long list of citations at the bottom of the article; all of the information is there.

- Yes, the links for the citations work. Countless names and companies are mentioned in the page; some pages are complete while some need editing, as stated by Wikipedia. All the links direct the reader to where they need to go, though.

- With over 220 references and twelve ‘see also’ options present at the bottom of the page, there’s plenty of avenues the information came from. Based on what I’ve read, there isn’t immediate bias in the article. The definition of net neutrality and facts following stay neutral.

- There’s a vast amount of content in this article, the webpage proves to be lengthy. When I was going through each section, there was a slight feeling of wanting to wander off to another related page and read about it. All of the topics connected back to net neutrality in some shape or form, which is a good sign.

- The article remains neutral in all areas where it is explaining how functions work. In sections where it discusses viewpoints, a direct quote or source is mentioned. Example: “Former Senator Al Franken from Minnesota fears that without new regulations, the major Internet Service Providers will use their position of power to stifle people's rights.”

- The sources themselves may not be neutral in the opinions they have about the topic, but what their quotes are as neutral as possible for a quote to be.

- Even if the article is only providing viewpoints with quotes or sources, there is still some bias seen, based on the open-endedness of the quotes. It isn’t detrimental, but I’m stating that it’s definitely there. The quotes are more helpful than harmful.

- The quotes from people involved or examples provided can ass bias, and that can impact the reader’s overall opinion. It isn’t detrimental since it does help explain facts and give insight into what’s talked about, but it’s there.

- The United States section of the article has more info than sections such as Canada, China, and India. This makes sense since net neutrality has been a present topic in US politics and affects citizens. The most prominent section about the US, discussing the removal of net neutrality in 2017, was excellently done, with zero bias included.

- It speaks about supporters of net neutrality based on company and personnel, all while remaining neutral on their overall opinions.

- Individuals who are for or against net neutrality are mentioned, but nothing is said to shift the opinion of the reader. Jackkk42 (talk) 20:25, 10 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Glad you liked it. I don't see any new requested improvements here. I've upgraded the article assessment from C to B. ~Kvng (talk) 17:08, 13 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, posting again for my Media Literacy class

Net Neutrality in 2021

A total of nine states have instituted net neutrality in 2021, with California being the prominent state due to ongoing court battles. [1] Net Neutrality hadn't had any drastic changes in early 2021 other than occasional court cases, as “Biden’s administration hasn’t expressed any intention to take up the issue soon.” [2] However, in July of this year, Biden signed forth an executive order in which the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) will revive the Obama administration’s net neutrality guidelines. [3] Mozilla, the company behind Firefox, has pushed for net neutrality to be upheld in 2021 due to classrooms and work environments being dominantly online from COVID-19 [4]

Revised changes made to above section, Net Neutrality in 2021

A total of nine states have instituted net neutrality in 2021, with California being the most controversial due to ongoing court battles. [1] There weren't any drastic changes to net neutrality in early 2021 other than occasional court cases, as “Biden’s administration hasn’t expressed any intention to take up the issue soon.” [2] However, in July of 2021, Biden signed forth an executive order in which the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) will revive the Obama administration’s net neutrality guidelines. [3] Mozilla, the company behind Firefox, has pushed for net neutrality to be upheld in 2021 due to classrooms and work environments being predominantly online from COVID-19 [4].

Net neutrality by country source and potential COI

Wikipedia has policies against self-promotion as described at WP:COI. In the edit

special:diff/1071564145/1071652801

new user Thgarrett added a new academic article as a citation to an unsourced statement. This is that users first and only edit. The lead author of that paper is Thiago Garrett, which is likely that same user. Experienced article reviewer MrOllie reverted the edit at

special:diff/1071652801/1071653370

because of self-promotion.

I get the fear, because in 999 out of 1000 cases, people who cite their own articles are doing so to spam citations in places where they do not fit. In this case it seems to fit. I do not regret MrOllie's revert because we have so few academic editors, but I think we are good here. I am reverting the revert pending discussion.

The citation works in this case, right? Thgarrett it would be helpful if you cite your own articles in the future if you added a bit of description about yourself to your userpage. Wikipedia is under constant attack and misconduct and briefly identifying your editing interests helps. Bluerasberry (talk) 18:57, 13 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed I'm the first author of that paper. I apologize for the inconvenient, I'll pay attention to the rules next time. About the citation, I planned on adding a paragraph (and the reference to the paper) to the page Net_neutrality_by_country, since I believe it is highly relevant for that particular page. However, I'm not sure this would adhere with the COI rules. I would appreciate any feedback. Thgarrett (talk) 20:28, 13 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
