User:Javiruiz82/List of unofficial Mario media/SlipperySpinner Peer Review

NOTE FROM COURSE INSTRUCTOR:

I appreciate the peer review. I agree it is hard to say whether it is comprehensive as the wiki is itself one of the only lists of its kind. I think the biggest concern is actually around the citations for these different series - the youtube videos are a good start, but 1. I don't see what these are the citations for; and 2. youtube is a very ephemeral site for cites. If there is a capture from the Wayback Machine or other web archive it would better, though there is some difficulty in maintaining flash video there. It would ideally be better if there was a text citation that could refer either to a major publication and/or a web capture of the page.

Lead

 * Does the Lead include a brief description of the article's major sections?: It does include a brief list of what type of content is included, including "video games, ROM hacks, and animation".
 * Does the Lead include information that is not present in the article?: Yes, the part about Nintendo issuing over 500 DMCA takedown requests is included. Does Nintendo have other thoughts about it, or have they taken any other forms of action against this?
 * Is the Lead concise or is it overly detailed?: The Lead looks fine to me. As a list, I don't know how much detail really needs to be in there. Just a brief overview and maybe a little info aboutt it that wouldn't fit in the list.

Content

 * Is the content added relevant to the topic? : Yes, the additional listings do contribute to the topic.
 * Is the content added up-to-date? : Yes. (Idk if you wanted to add the date for the SNL skit, or a link to the video?)
 * Is there content that is missing or content that does not belong? : I don't know. I think this is hard to answer because of Nintendo's strong approach to its IP and the takedowns. Some content may be missing from this list, but we may have no information at all about it, so we can't add it to the list. I think being able to find more content to add to the list is significant, showing that there is so much out there.
 * Does the article deal with one of Wikipedia's equity gaps? Does it address topics related to historically underrepresented populations or topics? : No. It isn't going to address it as it's a list.

Tone and Balance

 * Is the content added neutral? : Yes, I believe it is. You've addressed the content and gave some information about it., who made it, and what happened to it.
 * Are there any claims that appear heavily biased toward a particular position? : No.
 * Are there viewpoints that are overrepresented, or underrepresented? : No.
 * Does the content added attempt to persuade the reader in favor of one position or away from another? : No.

Sources and References

 * Is all new content backed up by a reliable secondary source of information? : Yes. Again, as a list, some of these may only be found on Youtube, so those should be fine. The SML link confused me for a bit as I really didn't see anything on there about Mario, other than his name, but you addressed how the original account was taken down, so it makes sense why the article didn't have much on Mario. Is there an article though with more info about his Mario videos?
 * Are there better sources available, such as peer-reviewed articles in place of news coverage or random websites?:  I don't know. Possibly. I know Youtube is the main one, as many of the videos are posted there. Are there articles about any of these videos? Anything about that SNL skit?

Organization

 * Is the content added well-written - i.e. Is it concise, clear, and easy to read? : Yes, I believe it is. It's a good flow and isn't super loaded with information.It also seems to follow the listings on the main article.
 * Is the content added well-organized - i.e. broken down into sections that reflect the major points of the topic? : Yes. You have info being added to different categories on the main page.

Images and Media
Are you thinking or planning on posting any images of the videos you add? Wikipedia seems to have a strict guidelines as to what images can be added, so now that I think back on it, it might be really hard to find a picture to add, especially with Nintendo.

Overall impressions

 * Has the content added improved the overall quality of the article - i.e. Is the article more complete? : The content that will be added will help to make the list more complete. Like I mentioned earlier, it might be really hard or nearly impossible to 100% complete this list as some content may have disappeared, but adding this information helps to make the list as complete as possible.
