Unit 3 "Evaluating Wikipedia"
Evaluating Content
What makes a good article?
Based on the Talk page for the article named coffee, it is now shown as a "delisted good article" which means that it has fallen from his good article status into an edit for future nomination to become a good article once again.
When comparing the elements of a good article and the not so great articles, I found that on the detailed section for the article it does not appear to be written with a fluid diction. Beginning of sentences repeat themselves as information was added by subsequent editors. The article does include headings, and subheadings, and images throughout the article, so it shows that editors try to balance the content. Additionally, I found some sentences in which sources are not mentioned. For example, on the first paragraph of the article, a sentence states "some controversy associated with.." and it ends with no source written. Most of the article is written with a neutral tone and it tries to show different points of view, but some sources may indicate potential bias.
When should you cite?
There are a about 200 sources cited on the article, but there are a number of sources that come from non-credible sources. For example, world brewers cup organization that can lead to biases.
