User:Sofia2520/Discussion: What's a content gap

What's a content gap:

- Wikipedians often talk about "content gaps." What do you think a content gap is, and what are some possible ways to identify them?

I think that a content gap is content that not a lot of people write about and because of that, nobody knows about it. The writers of a wikipedia page can't inform the public about this content. You can identify this in an article when you see that there is not much written about a topic like the other topics. Or they skip the topic.

- What are some reasons a content gap might arise? What are some ways to remedy them?

People might find something not interesting or something is new to the public. A way to remedy this is to put a bunch of researchers and writers on new upcoming topics like a new movie, or disease and let them research/write from the beginning about it.

- Does it matter who writes Wikipedia?

It could matter as the person might have a hidden agenda, but only if that's noticeable in an article. Or else, it does not really matter as everybody can write about their favourite content as long as they keep to the Wikipedia rules.

- What does it mean to be "unbiased" on Wikipedia? How is that different, or similar, to your own definition of "bias"?

It means informing others about the information you know and that's based on research and views of others. Not trying to sell something or only talk positive about it. When you're bias, you are doing something with a hidden thought behind it.
