Criticism of The Walt Disney Company

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose this because it was an article I found in the media section, and Disney plays a large role in media. This article seemed like one that could not be neutral, the way Wikipedia intends for all of their articles to be.

Evaluate the article
Everything in the article is relevant to the topic, there was not anything that distracted me. None of the information is out of date since it is an article about the faults of the Walt Disney Company. I do not think any major details are missing. The article does not underrepresent marginalized populations, instead it shows examples of Disney stealing ideas from different marginalized populations. I do not think anything could be improved -- the article provides a lot of information that is all sourced. I think the title is something that could be improved, because "criticism" has a negative connotation. The article does not seem neutral as it does not provide anything positive about the Walt Disney Company, it only provides critiques and the company's negative history. The negative aspects of the Company are overrepresented. The citation links work and the articles sourced do not support the claims of the article, they just provide more information on the topics being discussed. The sources do come from a diverse array of publishers. This article does not have conversations going about the topic, but it does have individuals interacting to fact check each other's edits. The article is of interest to nine WikiProjects. I think this article is different from what we have learned in class because it seems like a very negatively charged article. There is no information provided to refute the wrongdoings of Walt Disney, but based on the article title, I did not expect any refutation. However, none of the authors provide any personal thoughts on the information and remain neutral, which I think is good. All they are doing is providing accurate details of the different wrongdoings of the Walt Disney Company and allowing readers to make their own opinions about the company based on that information.
