What do you think a content gap is?
What I thought a content gap was after first hearing it was an area of some sort of content (like an article) that was left unanswered. My prediction was right. When people search for information that is not there, it is called a content gap.

What are some possible ways to identify them?
Possible ways to identify content gaps are searching for articles are say “This article needs additional citations for verification” this means the articles is not 100% credible and needs to be further assessed. Another way to identify them is using the vital articles feature on Wikipedia. This is a “set of subjects for which the English Wikipedia should have corresponding featured-class articles.”

What are some reasons a content gap might arise?
Reasons why a content may arise is because of limited or non- existent research done on said topic.

What are some ways to remedy them?
The ways in which to fix a content gap is to conduct the research yourself or finding information by recalling data from people such as experts or people who have done similar research in that field

Does it matter who writes Wikipedia?
It does not matter who writes on Wikipedia. However, the author must follow the proper ethical procedure. The content must be given the proper credit to the owner and it must have solid credible sources to back up any information posted.

What does it mean to be "unbiased" on Wikipedia?
Those who right a Wikipedia page should not have a conflict of interest. Meaning, for example, you should not write an article about your cousin if she is an author. It needs to be unbiased.

How is that different, or similar, to your own definition of "bias"?
this relates to my definition of bias which is having you opinion directed towards an interest you have. Making the information inaccurate.
