Article Evaluation

The article I selected to evaluate was the "Me too movement in India". Everything in the article was related to the Me Too movement, specifically in India. The article discussed which origins of India were affected the most from the movement and then broke down the effects of Bollywood after the movement emerged. It went into detail which Bollywood actresses spoke out about the movement and which stars brought up allegations. There were no subjective statements and all were facts. The article did not lean in any direction but stated the impact of how the Me Too movement changed the way women around India spoke up. The link that I checked cited The New York Times and summarized exactly what the previous statement was stating. The source was not biased and the other links that I clicked did not lean one side or another. The information was kept up to date as late as February 3, 2018. The article has been reviewed as a C-class article and since it has been rated as a low performance article, there have not been much conversation, if not any at all. It is a part of Wikiproject India, Feminism, Internet Culture and Sexology and Sexuality. In class, we discuss topics a little bit more biased since we lean towards topics that we are interested in and may choose a side. The articles on Wikipedia are very objective and lack opinion statements.

Possible articles to work on

  1. Education for Immigrants
    1. What limitations immigrants face when they enter the education system
    2. The effect on immigration in different education levels (middle school to college etc.)
  2. DREAM Act
    1. Current effects of the deterrence of the DREAM Act from 2012 onwards.
    2. Costs of creating DREAM Act
  3. Refugee Rights
    1. Past rights that have changed
    2. Future rights that have been discussed
  4. North Korea Defectors
    1. Where have the defectors gone
    2. Effects in the countries in which the defectors go and their rights in those perspective countries.

I would be interested in working on the DREAM Act article or North Korea Defectors article.

DREAM Act

Here, I think I could add a section of the effects of the DREAM Act after 2012. I think the article covers a great portion of the Act while it was in play, but does not show the effects of the Act when it was discontinued.

North Korean defectors

I will be able to add how these NK defectors were able to adapt to the countries they immigrated to. And what laws they had to abide to when leaving.

Ideas to add to article:

1) What law are Syrian Refugees protected under?

a) And do these law vary by country

2) What does the future look like for Syrian Refugees?

3) What reform has been put in place in the US for Syrian Refugees?

4) Expand on the employment section

5) More Background on the civil war

6) Details about the Syrian Government

7) Effects of Civil War on Syria


We want to expand this Wikipedia article by writing more about the Civil War itself and its impact within Syria. Later, we want to speak about country specific protections these refugees have. Then, we want to discuss what the future looks like for these refugees and whether there are laws in the process of being written to give them protection. We would like to expand the employment section and go deeper on the restrictions they have in each country.
