Article Evaluation

[edit]

Article: Chicago (musical)

- The introduction is short, relevant, and reveals a good overview of the article.

- The history section is very long and detailed, and not all of it is relevant. Perhaps some of the discussion of who ended up with the rights and how the rights were disputed are not very relevant and could be taken out.

- The synopsis of the acts give a neutral and detailed account of the story, without getting into too much overwhelming detail. I also liked how it linked to songs if they had pages or uncommon terms such as "media circus". I actually clicked on media circus because I was unfamiliar with the term, and it helped me understand the plot better.

- The link to "celebrity fleeting" goes to an article about "15 minutes of fame". While this is relevant, it is not exactly the same sentiment, so this connection was confusing to me at first.

-The details about the ensemble roles were relevant and useful, as it helped me understand which characters were important in the cast.

- The article was impartial and holistic in that it included some of the controversies around the musical. It mentioned the historical background, as well as the different ways companies have staged the show, and the feedback from critics about the various staging and singing styles.

- The article is up to date. It mentions the 2019 Australia production, and hopefully the page gets updated as more productions are put on.

- One of the links were missing and said "help"

- In 2007, a user pointed out that the synopsis was copied almost word for word from the playbill, which is definitely plagiarism.

[edit]

Chinese media and social media during the 2019–20 Hong Kong protests talks about how Chinese media has reacted to the Hong Kong protests. The article is pretty short, especially the "Foreign" sub-section. We have a few ideas about how to contribute to this article:

  • Discuss #StandWithHongKong and other hashtags outside of China and Hong Kong, either as a sub-section or within the "Foreign section"
  • Explain examples of international social media responses, such as the Blizzard and Daryl Morey incidents
  • Elaborate on China censoring WeChat and other social media outlets, and how Hong Kongers use Airdrop to subvert this
  • Elaborate on how social media is the main way that the international community learned about, or stays up-to-date with, the protests.

These changes could lead to new sub-sections (#StandWithHongKong, Airdrop, WeChat censorship), or we could add substantial amounts of information throughout the article with the existing headings and sub-headings.
