Peer Review

Hi, In your article you talk about different types of internet fraud, but not a lot about how to prevent these different type of internet fraud. There are also some grammar corrections that should be made, but other than that this could be a strong article. Just make sure your follow the topic of your page. Best of luck!

SI 110 Peer Review

Overall I think the content of this page is great. Internet fraud is becoming more and more popular so it is important to make this basic information available. You offer good links and references so that people can find more information as needed. The information you offer is useful and there are no major gaps. This is all great, however I think the writing could use a little work. There are a few sentences that are awkwardly worded as well as a lot of repetition. This can take away from the flow of the article and also make it harder to understand. Overall I think with a little editing this article could be great. But regardless, great work and it was a very good article. Good Job! Mdunaj 35.2.51.148 (talk) 16:53, 26 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Peer Review - SI 110

All in all, this article goes into great depth about Internet Fraud Prevention. First, I think the layout of the article is well-done and the article has many aspects of the five elements that make articles high-quality, such as balanced structure, neutral content, and reliable sources. The structure is balanced, as it gives great detail on credit card theft, phishing, identity theft, and chargebacks. One section does not take over the entire article. The content being neutral is evident through no personal opinions being used throughout the article. Next, a large number of sources were used for each section. Specifically, the "Chargebacks" section has four sources alone, which is good triangulation in order to make sure the information is accurate. The article also has a clear structure as it goes into detail about the prevention methods for each type of Internet fraud. Personally, it opened my eyes as to what I should be doing to prevent Internet fraud from happening to me. In addition, the "History" section provides good information about when and how Internet fraud first began. The use of many links throughout the page was also helpful. However, I do think that the introduction can be improved upon. The opening sentence provides a good definition and it was a good start to the page. But the next paragraph beginning with "Internet fraud being prevented on two ends" has some information in it that seems out of place and I found it confusing as to what the "two ends" were. Overall, I think this page was edited very well. Some editing in the second introduction paragraph could be useful, but I enjoyed reading this page and learning about Internet Fraud Prevention.
