Week 8 Edit

Overall, I really like what you have so far. You keep things clear and concise and I appreciate the hyperlinks to other Wikipedia articles embedded within your article as well, as it really helps to resolve any possible misunderstandings within the piece. However, one thing I recommend in terms of content would be narrowing down what you're talking about. You mention a lot of very interesting ideas/figures/events etc. but I found myself getting a bit lost as to how these ideas sort of tie into one another. Jumping from "Deterrence Theory and Panopticon" into a section on "Mass Surveillance in the United States" makes the article feel slightly disorganized at times. Also, I wouldn't mind more elaboration on the social movements that have spawned, as your explanations feel a little bit sparse at the moment. Overall, though, your content is very intriguing and definitely feels like a Wikipedia article.

Hi Casademasa!

I think what you have so far is really good. It's not very long, but of course, it's a draft so you can add more to it. I'd include your bibiliography in the article even if you don't know where exactly you'll use each source. I'd also make the intro cover the topic more broadly rather than cover specific instances like Edward Snowden or Freedom not Fear. That stuff can be fit into a specific section rather than the intro which is supposed to be more general. Overall, I like what you have so far. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Superunsubscriber (talk • contribs) 06:27, 11 April 2021 (UTC)

Peer Review (Junior Leadership)

Hi Casademasa!

This is a cool topic, and I learned a lot from reading your draft! One thing I want to mention is that your lead section is a bit heavy, meaning that you should try minimizing what you are introducing to the readers by either moving some of the information elsewhere or to split it up into smaller paragraphs to make it easier to read. It would also be super cool if you would include other countries so that you aren't focusing on the U.S./Europe (this would be focusing on one group of people - the West). Also, for the titles of "The Day We Fight Back" with quotes, you can take the quotes out. I think you could also split your Theoretical & Political Context of Mass Surveillance section into Background or History where you can just focus on the background information and mass surveillance and how it came to be (with stuff about Snowden as well). The United States section could also be included in your section that you already designated to be for the U.S. too.

Overall, this is a great start, and I can't wait to read it after you are finished! I think you have mentioned a lot of specific information, and I would also look back and see if you are missing any hyperlinks to these specified words/concepts. One of my biggest suggestions would be to start adding all of the citations that you have referenced to as it is easy to forget where you have looked to get your information and where to put it. By adding it as you write, you can ensure that your citations are in the right place and that you are not just taking information without properly citing/giving credit.

copy edit - ("The Day We Fight Back") - "One of the primary objectives of this day...." Try splitting this sentence in two to avoid a run-on sentence. copy edit - (Theoretical & Political Context of Mass Surveillance): "panopticon,a prison design" - Missing a space here. copy edit - "prisoners therefore" - Insert a comma between prisoners and therefore copy edit = "power, and will" - remove comma copy edit - "isolated from others, and are unable" - remove comma Hiiisparks (talk) 09:27, 17 April 2021 (UTC)

Hi Casademasa! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Wikipedia – it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Please see Help:Minor edit for more information. Thank you.

Week 9 Peer Review

Hey Casademasa!

Love what you've done so far. Maintains the objective tone of wikipedia, goes into detail about your topics and describes events that have occurred around your topic. Per section, here is some feedback:

Surveillance Protests:

- Great introduction, love the description of surveillance protests, why they have grown in popularity and relevance and some example of movements that have emerged. All the hyperlinks that you've provided are very helpful. Would appreciate more sourcing though.

Mass Surveillance, Deterrence, and Panopticon:

- I like this section as it maintains the objective tone of wikipedia, brings in examples of mass surveillance and an example of what individuals do when they feel as if they are being surveilled.

United States:

- This section is good, as it describes different surveillance acts and programs and goes into detail with some of them. Assuming you will source them over here.

"Stop Watching Us":

- Great example of a movement, maintains objective tone of Wikipedia.

"The Day We Fight Back":

- Similar feedback, great example of a movement, maintains objective tone of Wikipedia.

"Freiheit statt Angst (Freedom not Fear) ":

- Appreciate you branching out of the United States and bringing in anti-surveillance movements elsewhere. Once again, hyperlinks are helpful and assume you will be sourcing. Overall, great job.

Overall, amazing job and good luck!

Week 10 Peer Review

I think what you have is really good! However, I have a few nitpicking things to mention. First, I feel that the "United States" section you've written under "Theoretical & Political Context of Mass Surveillance" would be better served as an introduction section to "Anti-Surveillance Social Movements in the United States." However, it doesn't really detract at all from the article, so stick to your preference. Also, for your section on "Anti-Surveillance Social Movements in Europe", I feel like a brief introduction to such movements in Europe would be a nice addition. Otherwise, I really like what you have in your article!

Week 10 Peer Review

Hi Casademasa! First thing I notice is that this article looks really good and pretty much ready for upload. I think it just needs to include some citations and it will be ready. I like that you already have hyperlinks and I think the individual paragraphs in the article are very well written.

For the intro, I would split up some of the paragraph in to multiple since it seems to talk about multiple topics and it'd be better if you split them up, especially since there is enough content there for it to not look weird. For example, when you talk about Snowden or responses to government surveillance, those could be their own paragraph just so the content in your article is clearly organized. Either that or you could move it to the body.

I would also take a look at your article title and the titles for the subsections. Keep in mind that the title should only have the first world and proper nouns be capitalized. Also, I'd recommend not using special characters lke "&". Maybe also make the titles more brief; they seem sort of long right now.

I don't think you need separate sections for the United States and Europe. Unless you plan to include more in the Europe section, or expand the US sections to include the Americas then I don't think each need to be their own since there is not enough content for that. Also, since "Stop Watching Us" isn't really elaborated upon in the intro and you have a whole section about it later, I think you should either get rid of the mention in the intro or add other examples you've listed in the body. Right now it seems strange that this specific movement is highlighted above all others. The way you write about "The Day We Fight Back" makes it seems of similar scale and importance yet that one is left out.

Overall, very good article. I would add citations and then it is ready for upload.

Week 9 Peer Review

Hi,

This is a really engaging topic and was interesting to read more this week about other surveillance protest movements. I think the lead sections gives a good idea for the reader of what to expect, but I think it could be broken down into two paragraphs to make it a bit easier to read? I think the definition given right after the lead section and the context is really helpful to have when reading about the rest of the movements in the article. I think that it could even be expanded because it gives the reader a good background of what surveillance protests are and it's history. I also liked how you incorporated other surveillance protests from around the world and in Europe. I'm curious to know if similar protests have occurred in Asian/ Latin American countries? I think the structure of the article is good as well.

Peer Review Draft 1

Peer review of draft:

Overall a good structure and draft for the Wikipedia article that provides a general overview of surveillance protesting. The lead section gives a good general outline of the definition of surveillance protesting.The second section that details the context of surveillance protesting flow naturally from its definition and gives the reader important details on its general history. I think it could be helpful to provide in the lead section more information on what to expect for the rest of the article and an outline for what is to be expected. Also, it may be helpful to also include more information on surveillance protesting in other regions of the world because at the moment it gives a good representation of what surveillance protesting is like in the United States. It might be helpful to also have international context on what is happening in other regions. I also found it helpful to have different sections for each different political movement because it makes the article easy to read and draws attention to each specific event. I think this topic is really interesting and I'm looking forward to learning more!

Week 11 Peer Review - Denmum

Great job on this article! It really describes the surveillance protests well and gives good background on the topic. Here are my thoughts per section:

• Introduction: Great introduction, love the description of surveillance protests, why they have grown in popularity and relevance and some example of movements that have emerged. All the hyperlinks that you've provided are very helpful. Would appreciate more sourcing though. Seems the same as the last time I peer reviewed.
• Mass Surveillance, Deterrence, and Panopticon: I like this section as it maintains the objective tone of wikipedia, brings in examples of mass surveillance and an example of what individuals do when they feel as if they are being surveilled. Again, seems the same as the last time I peer reviewed.
• United States: This section is good, as it describes different surveillance acts and programs and goes into detail with some of them. Assuming you will source them when you move to mainspace. Again, seems the same as the last time I peer reviewed.
• "Stop Watching Us": Great example of a movement, maintains objective tone of Wikipedia. Is clear, concise and descriptive. Assuming you will source when moved to mainspace. Seems the same as last time I peer reviewed.
• "The Day We Fight Back": Similar feedback, great example of a movement, maintains objective tone of Wikipedia. Also assuming you will source when moved to mainspace. Seems the same as last time I peer reviewed.
• "Freiheit statt Angst (Freedom not Fear) ": Appreciate you branching out of the United States and bringing in anti-surveillance movements elsewhere. Once again, hyperlinks are helpful and assume you will source when moved to mainspace. Section seems to be the same as last time I peer reviewed.

Overall, great job! Denmum (talk) 01:10, 2 May 2021 (UTC)

Week 11 Peer Review

Hello!

I enjoyed reading through the article and seeing the new additions made. It's overall a really well written piece and each section does a very efficient job of summarizing the point. The overall structure of the article follows through well and gives the reader a good idea of context before delving into specific examples. For the lead section, I think the only change that could be made would be the "As technology has advanced" phrase of the second sentence. I think it may flow better if it was something like "Due to advancements in technology,". And the next section of "as having a theoretical background in maintain social control of deviance" might be a little unclear as to whether you're referring to the scholars or the type of mass surveillance. Maybe this sentence "This is the idea behind mass surveillance, as individuals" can be split into two smaller sentences as well to provitde clarity? Other than these few minor punctuation or sentence flow edits, I think this article reads really well and all the details are said in a very concise manner.

Junior Leadership Review

Hi Casademasa!

One thing I want to point out real quick is that for the Mass Surveillance, Deterrence, and Panopticon section, if you are only using one source, you can just cite it at the end and not cite it over and over for each sentence. You are also missing citations for the three sections within Anti-Surveillance Social Movements in the United States. You can use the articles from your annotations to back this information up. Also, two of your citations are within your article, and the actual citing needs to be at the bottom of the page. Check the template and make sure that when you're entering citations they go to the right section. You will also need to title this "References."

From the annotations you've written there is a lot on Chinese surveillance, and I think you can make that into a section after the Anti-Surveillance Social Movements in Europe section. Good work and keep on writing!

copy edit: "As technology has advanced" -- Change to "With the advancement of technology"

copy edit: "other entities, and to win back" -- Remove comma

copy edit: "guard or institution of power, and will discipline" -- Remove comma

copy edit: "nations where there is constitutional protection of privacy [4]. " -- Period before citation

copy edit: "march of about 5000 people" -- Use 5,000

copy edit: "online activism was to pass the USA Freedom Act which was" -- Add comma before which Hiiisparks (talk) 19:52, 8 May 2021 (UTC)
