Week 2 Questions

1. Wikipedians often talk about "content gaps." What do you think a content gap is, and what are some possible ways to identify them?

Content gaps are things that nobody has adequately covered in a topic. Being creative and brainstorming is how one can identify content gaps.

2. What are some reasons a content gap might arise? What are some ways to remedy them?

Some content gaps can arise because of lack of enough information to claim facts about things. Other content gaps can be things that nobody has been creative enough to cover yet.

3. Does it matter who writes Wikipedia?

Who writes Wikipedia matters to a certain extent, as long as the author cites their sources and the information is unbiased and easy to understand then the identity of the person writing Wikipedia does not matter.

4. What does it mean to be "unbiased" on Wikipedia? How is that different, or similar, to your own definition of "bias"?

Being unbiased on Wikipedia is basically the same as being unbiased in real life. The writer must leave out their views so they don’t influence the information incorrectly. Also if a writer is biased to certain views in their writing, the reader won’t be able to make a proper decision based on the information given because it is biased.
