Article Chosen: “Me Too movement”

'''Is everything in the article relevant to the article topic? Is there anything that distracted you?'''

Yes, everything is relevant.

'''Is the article neutral? Are there any claims, or frames, that appear heavily biased toward a particular position?'''

This article is neutral because it explains how the purpose of the “Me Too” movement was to empower women, but it eventually did that for men, people of color, marginalized groups, and of all ages as well. It has transcended languages and meanings, as people have stretched and personalized the original meaning of the hashtag.

Are there viewpoints that are overrepresented, or underrepresented?

The views of creators and influencers Tarana Burke and Alyssa Milano are often addressed in the article, but I think that is fair considering they started the movement.

'''Check a few citations. Do the links work? Does the source support the claims in the article?'''

Yes, the links work and support the claims of the article.

'''Is each fact referenced with an appropriate, reliable reference? Where does the information come from? Are these neutral sources? If biased, is that bias noted?'''

There are multiple references cited in the section “Better options for reporting” in which the article explains way that other countries, like France and India, handle sexual harassment. Citations in this section include The New York Times, The Times, CNN, The Better India, and USA Today. I don’t think that there are any extreme biases in these citations because they are from reliable news sources that also must refrain from bias.

'''Is any information out of date? Is anything missing that could be added?'''

No, the information is up-to-date.

'''Check out the Talk page of the article. What kinds of conversations, if any, are going on behind the scenes about how to represent this topic?'''

No messages have been posted on the Talk page of this article.

'''How is the article rated? Is it a part of any WikiProjects?'''

Yes, WikiProject Feminism, WikiProject Internet culture, WikiProject Sexuality, and WikiProject United States.

How does the way Wikipedia discusses this topic differ from the way we've talked about it in class?

We have yet to talk about this particular movement in class. With that being said, this Wikipedia articles has sections for multiple countries that have participated in using the “Me Too” hashtag in their language. I think it would be interesting if we talked about how these movement have either transcended to other countries, or about how different countries address problems like this in general.
