=Assignment Two= I feel that although both were informative, the Wikipedia article was more organized and easier to follow.

Britannica
The Britannica article, although it was very informative and at times provided more information than the Wikipedia one, jumped around a little too much for my liking. While reading the article it felt as though the writer had a hard time organizing what he wanted to put on paper. It jumps back and forth between her writing and her life. In the section where he talks about her life, he keeps referring back to her writing, which is somewhat understandable considering it is one of the only accesses we have into her life, but I feel it did not need to be mentioned as much as it was. Especially since, he provided a section in the article to talk about her books. Which gave very little information on the books as individuals.

This article provided many sources for additional reading. Upon looking to the left side of the article I discovered that the article writer also provided many links to video sources, related articles and to a selection of EBooks.

Wikipedia
The Wikipedia article, provided many aspect of information on Jane Austen. It provided quite a lot of information that Britannica did not. One of which, was information on her life and career. They gave information on her early life and education, which was a very interesting read. It provided facts about her family and who she felt closest to in her family. It spoke of how her family supported her career and all of the struggles they faced after her fathers death. Britannica mentioned his death briefly, Wikipedia however, went into further detail on how it changed her family’s life.

The Wikipedia article provided many links to other pages that provided extra information on the places that she lived, her books and her family. This article also had an extensive list of references, and a bibliography providing a list of resources on her life, and her work, including essay and articles written about her work and life.

Wikipedia, in my opinion, provided a much more interesting, and informative read.

Editing done to Wikipedia Article
After viewing the page history for the Wikipedia article I discovered that it had been tampered with a few months ago. A user changed one of the links on the page to something extremely inappropriate. Another user quickly stepped in a few minutes after and changed the page back to its original state. There is no mention however if the one who vandalised the page was ever reported or removed from Wikipedia.
