Wikipedia Page- Dirk Nowitzki

Dirk Nowitzki

Talk Page- Talk:Dirk Nowitzki

When reading the article, it seems to be generally pretty organized with a great summary at the top, outlining almost everything you need to know. One unique thing I noticed was that he was just announced as a 14 time NBA all star, which was included, but the citation was marked as need a better one, possibly due to the recency. There was nothing that really distracted me, and was pretty up to date. The career statistics do not include the current statistics for year 2018-2019, which should be added. In addition to that, his overall career points should be mentioned, and the fact that he is chasing Wilt Chamberlain. The article is mostly factual but there are a few opinionated claims, such as naming him "one of the greatest power forwards of all time" Overall though, I think the article is a factual representation. Most of the facts are citated with all the links working, but are typically to sports sites such as ESPN, rather than academic journals. The link to the Naismith Legacy Award is broken because the Wikipedia page no longer exists. The talk page is interesting, which people are asking questions about validity of certain statistics, or asking about adding potential sections, such as awards, that other players see. It is rated as a good article, and if we were to cover sports in our class, I think our class decision would be more opinionated.

Three topics-

Trump wall-

This was a generally good article and quite up to date, especially in the sense that included the Government Shutdown and the GoFundME. I was quite impressed by this, as I would have expected this to see some delay. There could be some part that focuses on the impact of social media, but this was not included. The talk page was quite dead, as it seems to be a very structured topic.

Make America Great Again

This topic and page seemed to have room to be elaborated, especially with interactions of celebrities and recent news, which I have addressed below.

Fake news

This was also a very detailed page, but I focused on the 21st century impact that we saw, which I believe was generally well written. I would suggest a separate article, such as Donald Trump and the Fake News campaign, which I believe we could write ourselves.

Two Articles-

Make America Great Again

My proposed changes are that we should include a section of celebrity interaction with the Hashtag, specifically with the focus on Kanye West and some other celebrities who had controversy. Furthermore, the talk page mentions social media usage, as a sub-topic but I believe this could be emphasized in further detail. I would add details on the first time he used the slogan, and the response it generated. I also would update the statistics to more detailed relevant numbers to the article. Possibly add actual tweets. (Note I saw this in another article)

2019 State of the Union Address-

This was a stub that I encountered during researching the Wiki Project stubs of Donald Trump. It does a good job summarizing the speech, but I would add some facts about the speculation that he is using it for promoting 2020, as well as his statistical claims of his support, potentially incorporating his social media before. Some of these opinions, mentioning promoting 2020, was also mentioned on the talk page.
