CLAIMS THAT ARE BIAS

The 5 positons

Its assuming that because a way a person is built that the position they will play which is not true. For example the article states that the point guard is usually the fastest player on the team. It also says that the point guard controls the balls and passes it to each player. Which any of the positions can do that. The bias is noted after the paragraph stating that each position can be flexible.

Shooting is over representative: Its a common sense topic. They go way into depth about how players score with the basketball. Also I believe that the height of NBA players is not relevant to the topic of basketball. Yes they play basketball, but it kind of veers away from the main point of the article.

Each fact does have appropriate reference's that allow you to find out where they found the information. The links take you right where you need to go if you want more in depth information of a specific topic.

Some information is out of date. For example the article states that the tallest CURRENT NBA player is Sim Bhullar. When he actually isn't in the NBA anymore

This article has plenty of discussion. Some is false information but others give good opinions and true information.

The Wikipedia article does achieve its rhetorical objective. By viewing this article you're able to be informed and educated on the topic of basketball. It does its job and try's to provide the best information as possible. While keeping it very professional.

Ready Player One is a novel by Ernest Cline.

Article Draft
The article I plan on working on for this assignment is Cabin Fever (2000 film). For this article I decided that I am going to expand on the information about the plot, characters, movie budget, revenue, etc. This article can be improved in many ways. I'm going to create a plot category and also a reference area. I plan on adding a short summary on the film to help the readers get a better idea on what the film is about. Also I plan on revising the cast. Ill add the rest of the cast members and also any awards the film has been nominated for and won. Hence will all of these ideas, I should able to improve the overall quality of the article. I'm very excited to work and enhance the article as it benefits everyone.

Vetter's Feedback
Wow. You've got a really good proposal here. I like that you're doing a film and that you've got these super specific ideas for development and addition. I would recommend looking at other (A-class or featured article) articles on films to get an idea of what kinds of sections and information is included, and what kinds of references are used. I would like to see you find some film reviews of the movie as additional sources. I believe you can also cite the film itself for plot summary, etc. I'm excited about this. For your next step, I would start looking through your sources and identifying specific passages or pieces of information that you could bring in to the article. Bring those sources to class (or be able to get to them digitally) and be prepared to begin drafting on Tuesday. We'll talk more in the conference, but good start on this! -Dr. Vetter
