Article Evaluation
Original Article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jair_Bolsonaro_presidential_campaign,_2018

The page in question does not have any activity in the “talk” area besides a deleted image due to what seems to be copyrights. However, Bolsonaro’s campaign is a widely discussed topic in Brazil and South America. I understand that the page in question is relating specifically to Jair Bolsonaro’s campaign, not his life story, in which case a lot of information regarding his life should be discarded. Even so, the article fails to include a lot of crucial events and incidents that had a direct impact in his campaign, like the #NotHim (#EleNao) movement. Additionally, although the information in the article is relevant to the topic introduced by title, a lot of information seems to be missing as the article only introduces the candidate (Jair Bolsonaro) and briefly mentions one incident from his campaign (the stabbing). Further, while the article lists his political affiliations and endorsements, it does not provide enough support as to when such endorsements were done or proof that they happened in the first place. On another note, although the writer may seem to attempt to have a neutral position on Bolsonaro’s campaign, it fails on doing so as it seems to only point out fact and events that either victimize or idealize the candidate. In fact, most of the sources used are from well know right conservative media outlets in Brazil (Veja, Gazeta do Povo etc). Thus pointing out even more the bias within the article. When taking a deeper look into the references, one can identify 3 main flaws in the source selection. Firstly, as mentioned before the information was taken from a bias source and no other sources were used to counter or balance the ideas brought up by the bias source. Secondly, some of the sources do not seem reliable as they come from blog like websites and even tweeter. Thirdly, some of the sources consist of two or three paragraph long articles, thus implying that the writer either specifically selected the sources to be used in the page, and that the original source simply has no extensive information of the subject matter. Finally although the article does not have many developed paragraphs, the second paragraph where the information about the money that he fundraised, is almost a direct translation from its source in Portugues. Furthermore, the same exact sentence can be found in another wikipedia page where Bolsonaro’s biography is displayed. Because of that, that second paragraph should most likely be paraphrased and changed around. All together, it seems like this wikipedia page is still a work in progress. Still, the sources should be re-evaluated and reconsidered as unbiased and more reliable sources should be brought up to create a more neutral view of the facts of his campaign. Additionally, the article should include more factual information about his campaign and things that may or may not have affected it and the changes should be done with the attempt of structuring the page in a manner that is not bias and does not subconsciously victimize or idealize the candidate.

Unless I'm looking in the wrong place, it looks like you haven't put together exactly what you're going to put in the article, or how you plan on restructuring it to be less biased. But I think what you have planned out looks good! Confazz (talk) 20:12, 26 October 2018 (UTC)

I am unsure whether or not I am looking in the correct place but I have not seen any edits made in the Bolsonaro campaign article. Rather than posting Friday, I wanted to wait until today to see if edits were made but none were. Strati.mou (talk) 00:55, 29 October 2018 (UTC)
