The article I evaluate is False Wakening. It is similar to the topic that I chose for my research paper. False wakening is a phenomenon that while people are actually sleeping, they consider they are awake in their dreams. Also it is interesting to evaluate a article in wikipedia. After starting this program, I felt like I had viewed wikipedia from a different perspective. I think the most important thing I learned from the evaluation is that we should always see thing from a neutral and objective point of view, instead of blindly follow what are posted on the internet. Here are the links to my talk page toward the article and my evaluation of the article. /info/en/?search=User:Rayray411/Evaluate_an_Article /info/en/?search=Talk:False_awakening Rayray411 ( talk) 20:34, 2 October 2019 (UTC)
https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=User_talk:FULBERT&diff=915721204&oldid=915720523#Week2/assignment/rayray411 . Here is the link. Is that work? Rayray411 ( talk) 02:47, 6 October 2019 (UTC)
I think a content gap is the inconsistency between the topic and information provided in the article. Information in the article should explain the topic to make it easier to understand. The way I identify the gap is to read the article and see if I have a clearer scope of the topic, if not, then there is a content gap. The reason why there is a content gap might because information the author acquired isn't enough or the languages used for explanations isn't apparent. The content gap definitely matters to who wrote wikipedia because the gap helps the author to further improve on the article. The link to the gap /info/en/?search=New_media_studies. In this lesson, I find going through the article finder wikipedia provides give me a broader sense of how the articles been categorized into specific topics. Also, I think the rating that wikipedia gives on different articles help me identify good articles much more easier. Jingw99 ( talk) 01:39, 4 October 2019 (UTC)
The article I added into a citation called "Coffea arabica". The link for the difference is https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Coffea_arabica&type=revision&diff=919500746&oldid=917169416. This place has been shown that need to be further cited. Copyediting is a good strategy for improving the article gradually. As the population for wiki users is huge, change is always unavoidable. However, before editing, you need to understand whole article and ensure your editing is not conflict with the original intenstion. It's a great lessson for me and help me understand more about the wiki editing process. For doing citation part, you also need to be careful with the source you used and wiki already provide several great functions for helping you on the right track. Ygplusplus ( talk) 02:25, 4 October 2019 (UTC)
The article I find that need more citation is "New media studies", I found the article used a direct quote from a book called the NewMediaReader without a citation. I use the wikipedia citation tool to add the citation which I found is very convenient. The link to the diff page is https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=New_media_studies&type=revision&diff=919499871&oldid=846193618. In the copyediting process, I feel it helps a lot to make articles more precise. Adding citation and correcting grammar errors help to smooth the article content. Copyediting makes articles carefully and neatly done. More importantly, copyediting help the information in the article more valid and convincing. During the process, it taught me to not easily take the information in any wikipedia article for granted. I should be more careful with authenticity in any articles. Jingw99 ( talk) 02:21, 4 October 2019 (UTC)
This week I add a citation to the topic Mind Wandering. The citation I found helps support the claim in the topic. The citation mainly talks about the memory framework of mind wandering has the direct impact of people's image vividnesses. Copyediting is the first step to remedy and edit an article in wikipedia. I think it is meaningful to get the first step started. The thing I learned from the process is still to read through every wikipedia article critically and don't trust any information blindly without doing comprehensive research. Here are the link to my citation. https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Mind-wandering&diff=919838401&oldid=918441277 Rayray411 ( talk) 04:06, 6 October 2019 (UTC)
I add market share for online shopping that from an article. https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Online_shopping&diff=919932304&oldid=917624888 I learned how to add new information on wikipedia. And I learned how to insert citation for this information. I realized that everyone can edit information on wikipedia so I need to check the link for this to make this information is reliable. LuChen2019 ( talk) 18:45, 6 October 2019 (UTC)
I added a citation to the exploitation of resources to support the idea that the growing population is pressuring the environment. Here is the link: https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=User%3ASoniayyy%2Fsandbox&type=revision&diff=919984764&oldid=915244159 I feel that when reading others article on WIKIPEDIA, I do not feel that the article is reliable if it does not have enough citations. Adding citations to the article may make visitors more comfortable and make our materials more reliable. Soniayyy ( talk) 01:49, 7 October 2019 (UTC)
Copyediting means improve the accuracy of something. I helped to improve the page using my past experience. I learned that adding citations in WIKI is very easy. The process of improving wiki also very simple. This encourage me to improve wiki after this course. I added the citation 14 on this page. Here is the link. https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Discounted_cash_flow&diff=920020380&oldid=919201983
Sophie007007 ( talk) 07:11, 7 October 2019 (UTC)
From my own perspective, the content gap is happened when users could not find exact answers when they search for the answer in WIKI. These are articles that are not well-developed. I think the article finder is a great tool to find a content gap. I think the reason why content gap arise is that when the article is created, the authors tried all their best to address all the sections but when time goes by, new questions or areas are appeared but the authors are not paying more attention on the articles anymore. I think it does matter those who write WIKI since it would be hard for the current editors to continue on editing. I do not think it is unbiased since all the sections are under developed. Here is the link I find the content gap: /info/en/?search=Pokémon_(video_game_series)#Generation_VIII_(Nintendo_Switch) Boboandy ( talk) 15:37, 4 October 2019 (UTC)
The article I chose is Pokémon!!!! I am huge fan of Pokémon and I am so happy that I can edit something and help this article getting better!!! I think the copyediting is include all the possible improvement tools we could use to help our favorite articles getting better! Grammar correction also helps the article be easier to understand. I learned from the process that I need to be more careful when I use or edit the articles I find in WIKI. The link of my changes: https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Pok%C3%A9mon_%28video_game_series%29&type=revision&diff=919598881&oldid=918824163 Boboandy ( talk) 16:02, 4 October 2019 (UTC)
I think the content gap is the information not clear and not direct in Wikipedia. When I studied in the week 4, I choose the Dota 2’s competitions- The International 2019 as my topic. Because the International 2019 choose Shanghai as the place for competition. Although the Dota 2 fans provide more evidence and content in this article, but I still can add more details in it. That is the link I find is content gap is: /info/en/?search=The_International_2019 After the study in this process, I learned about the Wikipedia have many topics that I can search it conveniently, and I find that some articles is not good for using, I need to distinguish it. Cj1447 ( talk) 17:43, 4 October 2019 (UTC)
In the Machine Vision article, I have found the content gap. The article introduces the machine vision to readers. However, for most people, machine vision is very hard to understand even though the article has tried very hard to help readers by using common vocabularies. I think readers still do not know what Machine Vision can do in the real life based on reading articles if people want to learn about the applications. Therefore, I think it is important to add some real-life applications with details to readers. I think the content gap is something that readers want to know but cannot find by reading the related articles. One important reason is that people who write the articles are very professional and usually skip some knowledge that the authors think is simple, but readers sometimes are not familiar with this area. They can not really understand or find the resources they read. In Wikipedia, I think unbiased means every claim you make must have some supports based on reliable resources. Usually, we think bias usually means unfair. Link to choosing an article: https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=User:Tt1887/Choose_an_Article&action=edit§ion=2 Link of Machine Vision: /info/en/?search=Machine_vision
In the process, I have found looked at many articles and no article is perfect. That is why every article needs many people to do research and update the resources. I also learned the process of how to identify content gaps which are very useful when we write or revise articles. We need to stand in a view that readers do not know anything about the topic to write the paper. Tt1887 ( talk) 23:39, 4 October 2019 (UTC)
From my perspective, a content gap is when a person try to find information on Wikipedia, he or she could not find out enough knowledge. In this week's learning process, I have gain knowledge on how to choose possible topics. Finding good topics is not as easy as I thought. Some of the articles are well developed because they had been edited lots of times. Also, good topics should benefit a large group of people. Another good tip I learned is that I can look at the ratings of the pages to help me identify good topics. I found content gap in this page. /info/en/?search=Trance_music Irisnan1009 ( talk) 00:09, 5 October 2019 (UTC)
In week 5's learning process, I gain knowledge on how to add citation to an article. After I browsed several Wiki page, I realized that there are many article having source problems, which I didn't notice before. Some of the article need to add authoritative sources, and some other articles' sources need to be verified.In the copyediting part, I have learned that this process helps to make the article more precise. I'm glad that I took this learning session, because now if I find some articles need to be revised, I know how I can make a change. The source I added is where I found content page from last week's learning session. https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Trance_music&diff=prev&oldid=919667571 Irisnan1009 ( talk) 01:05, 5 October 2019 (UTC)
Concept gap refers to not enough information of incorrect information are provided to researchers when they try to search specific topics. For example, when people want to obtain information from wikipedia, the information they saw are not well enough for them to understand the topic or they felt the information they saw are actually contradicted with their existing understanding. That's what I consider as concept gap. Also, I think the existence of concept gap is related to the authors of the article. Concept gap will arise when authors are not comprehensive enough toward the knowledge of the topic or they haven't done enough research about the topic. They ways to remedy a concept gap are to add more reliable information and citation to the article. To be unbiased on wikipedia, authors need to present all information in a objective and neutral perspective. An unbiased article is an article which will not guild readers to a specific viewpoint and remain a space for readers to think about the topic objectively and critically. That's my consideration toward the discussion about concept gap. Similar to the article I evaluated on week 3, Lucid Dream is the concept gap I found on wikipedia because I think there are more information can be added to that article and the content of the article are not sufficient enough for me to understand the topic clearly. /info/en/?search=Lucid_dream#Definition Rayray411 ( talk) 06:14, 5 October 2019 (UTC)
This week I had to choose an article. I like to focus on health because there are great topic around that area. When I was searching around for articles I realized I need to focus on the content gap. A content gap help me sort of what article I can use. For me its important to find an article that is unbiased. Whether the article content is relevant or reliable. The article that i found a gap on was /info/en/?search=Health Nul90 ( talk) 22:58, 5 October 2019 (UTC)
This was my favorite exercise because i was actually able to eded an article. It is so important to review the material that you see on Wiki because people tend to just add anything. Now I really understand how you cant just trust anything you read on wiki because there is so much that goes into work. https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Healthy_diet&type=revision&diff=919931147&oldid=916702467 Nul90 ( talk) 18:31, 6 October 2019 (UTC))
Hi, This is Lu Chen, now I have my wikipedia account. I would love to learn more information about Wikipedia. I already learned what is Wikipedia and some policy about it. I thought it was very interesting, looking forward for more sections. LuChen2019 ( talk) 16:37, 6 October 2019 (UTC)
The Lead include an introductory sentence that concisely and clearly describes the article's topic, it shows that the design of the public interest is a people-oriented design. Includes ecological, economic and social issues. The Lead include a brief description of the article's major sections, which emphasizes that the design philosophy is to address issues such as economic development and environmental protection. This is the link about it. /info/en/?search=User:LuChen2019/Evaluate_an_Article and my talk page /info/en/?search=Talk:Public_interest_design From this section, I learned how to edit Wiki Page and find talk page. Also, this most important thing is I learned how to evaluate article from many aspect. LuChen2019 ( talk) 18:12, 6 October 2019 (UTC)
I chose topic about online shopping. I want to find more information about online shopping in this article. For example, its development history, market share, and successful platforms. I add my resource page here
/info/en/?search=User:LuChen2019/Choose_an_Article#Option_1 and the article is
/info/en/?search=Online_shopping . I learned how to chose an article that related to my topic and also know how to evaluate this article.

Hi, my name is Shengjue Yuan. I am a backend engineer and I think it would be interesting to learn more about Wikipedia. I have already learnt some policies of wikipedia this week. I hope to learn more in the future Soniayyy ( talk) 22:30, 6 October 2019 (UTC)
This week I evaluated the article Visual Communication: /info/en/?search=Visual_communication. In the past, I always thought that WIKIPEDIA could be a reliable source, however, when I was doing this assignment, I figured that WIKIPEDIA is not as reliable as I thought. Here is a link of my evaluation: /info/en/?search=User:Soniayyy/Evaluate_an_Article. Here is a link of the talk page: /info/en/?search=Talk:Visual_communication By exploring WIKIPEDIA, I could tell that how these unreliable sources might be unhelpful for student and other researchers. I feel that we should be more responsible for what we write online and back them up with reliable sources. Soniayyy ( talk) 23:42, 6 October 2019 (UTC)
I think the content gap is when people are using WIKIPEDIA, they do not have a systematic understanding of the area they are searching for and the WIKIPEDIA did not provide a systematical explanation of such area, so that they may miss the correct explanation or a full explanation of the area they are searching for. The gap I found is from here: /info/en/?search=Exploitation_of_natural_resources. I myself do not know much of the Exploitation_of_natural_resources and by reading the article, I might not figure out that what is missing or what is incorrect. However, by reading the talk, I figured that there are some people who study either environmental science or social science might figured the incorrect or inadequate part from the article Soniayyy ( talk) 01:24, 7 October 2019 (UTC)
This week I evaluate the category called environmental science. Because my research topic is related to this area. While I reading the content of this page, I found out there is not such problem of Fire or Forest fire within the category. Thus, I add a talk about we should add a section to explain the cause or effect of forest fire. I would like to do that if nobody respond. In the process, I have learned on how to edit and interact with other in the WIKI. To avoid plagiarism, the best way is Paraphrase. /info/en/?search=Category_talk:Environmental_science Sophie007007 ( talk) 06:18, 7 October 2019 (UTC)
In my opinion, content gap means that you notice something is missing on the page. In this week, I learned how to find a good topic to work on. I discovered the wiki project and how to find out the article priority. I look up the Discounted cash flow page and find out the page needs improve. /info/en/?search=Discounted_cash_flow Sophie007007 ( talk) 06:58, 7 October 2019 (UTC)
This week I choose the Economic history as my article evaluation. In my undergraduate school, when I wrote some paper in my writing class, my teacher told that do not use Wikipedia as the source. After this evaluation, I know that the Wikipedia combined many viewpoints, but some of them is not correct. So, in this economic history topic, I just study about the knowledge from it and propose a little question for the history. In this evaluation, I got that if I want to know something I don’t know, I can find it in Wikipedia, but I need to discriminate the article is article or not. link to your evaluation itself: /info/en/?search=User:Cj1447/Evaluate_an_Article link to the Talk page where you offered a comment /info/en/?search=Talk:Economic_history#Proposal_to_merge_Cliometrics_into_this_page
Cj1447 ( talk) 23:55, 2 October 2019 (UTC)
The article I choose is “The International 2019”, as the Dota 2 player, I am interested in this topic. When I read for this article, I found a sentence need to rewrite, and add one detail in this sentence. The link to the diff page is https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=The_International_2019&diff=919618476&oldid=918396837 The first I learn from the copyediting is the wiki article need more details to complete it, second one is the article need to focus on grammar and logic, last one is when I copyediting the article, I need to read the Original article carefully. That’s all my learned for this week. Cj1447 ( talk) 18:13, 4 October 2019 (UTC)
This week, I added my first citation in Wikipedia articles. The topic I choose is Digital Image Processing. One of the claims about the “digital filters” needs a citation to support the statement and I found one peer-reviewed article from ABI/INFORM which talks about the method of digital filters that can support this claim. The citation number is [4]. Previews link https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Digital_image_processing&oldid=919414195. Current link: https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Digital_image_processing&oldid=919417450. Difference between revisions link: https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Digital_image_processing&type=revision&diff=919417450&oldid=916341404 In the copyediting, I learned how to choose an article to edit. When I have chosen an article, I can improve an article through multiple ways such as grammar and citations. Our goal is to make the article more accurate, more reliable and easier to understand. Most articles are not perfect, and they need to be kept improving by people in different ways. I also learned how to cite an article and what type of resources we prefer to choose. A citation can make the claims in the article reliable which is very important because we want readers to trust what we write. Tt1887 ( talk) 23:40, 4 October 2019 (UTC)
1. The content gap means the information that people try to look for is not available on Wikipedia, or there is not enough content provided. 2. One of the ways to identify it is to check if the length of the Wikipedia page is long enough. While I was looking for information before, sometimes I saw a topic that was not explained in detail and the page is very short without enough references. Another way is to search online and see if there is enough news coverage and search in journal databases. The reason why a content gap exists is that the topic is not discovered enough and have a public interest. Sometimes, we have to wait until there is more research related to the topic to improve the article. I don't think the writers of Wikipedia article matter as long as the content is nonbiased and provides true knowledge. Nonbiased means the content does not favor any side. The own definition of bias is not completely unbiased because ourself is the judge of the fact that if one thing is biased or not. We might have a different understanding of the situation of one thing. 3. /info/en/?search=The_Matrix_defense 4. I have learned multiple ways to choose my topic, for example, from different categories, WikiProjects, and navigation templates. There are some criteria that the topic should meet. I need to pick an article that has room to work on and improve it. I need to make sure the topic is not controversial or has interest conflicts with myself.

1. I updated new data to the article "Women in engineering". The statistics in the original one was out dated. Also, I reorganized the statistics part. The order was not reasonable before. It went from talking about the data of women in college to the workplace and then it was talking about bachelor data again. I rearranged it so it becomes women engineers in college, master, and workplace. 2. The link to the revision: /info/en/?search=Women_in_engineering 3.

I also learn about how to avoid plagiarism or copyright violation. Dragonroll ( talk) 00:54, 14 October 2019 (UTC)
During this week's study, I revised a new article. I found that this article is showing lack of reliable source. Thus,I went on scholar database to find authoritative source. Here is the diff link: https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Rave&diff=prev&oldid=921141507 In this process, I further understand the importance of the quality of sources. I realized some articles have tags saying they lack reliable sources. And this is where I can help. I can always take advantage of school database and try to look for authoritative sources and help Wiki improve its article. Irisnan1009 ( talk) 04:02, 14 October 2019 (UTC)

The revision article I choose is Digital Image Processing. In the article, it originally gave a couple of sentences about the history of digital image processing and I think it is clearly not enough for people to understand what digital image processing is about. I have read the textbook called Digital Image Processing by Gonzalez and I noticed there is a part of the introduction in this book is talking about the history and development of digital image processing techniques. Therefore, I use the information provided by this book and summarized the original purpose of this technology and give a popular case in the 1970s from the book as a paragraph to supplement the History Section in the article. The working revision link is: /info/en/?search=Digital_image_processing#History And the different revision link is: https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Digital_image_processing&type=revision&diff=920645202&oldid=920632374 The new article I found for citation this week is about the Data Matrix topic. In the application section, previous editors make a claim that many mobile devices have already been able to read the Data Matrix Code. However, he did not provide reliable sources to support his claim. I found one of the academic papers from ABI/INFORM talks about the applications of 2D Codes in mobile applications including Data Matrix. The number of my citation is [3]. The link of difference is https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Data_Matrix&type=revision&diff=920575824&oldid=911706722. In this week’s learning process, I understand what plagiarism and copyright violation are. I also learned how to avoid these situations. I think the most mistakes I usually make are closing plagiarism. Besides, I have also found out that people very easily forget to find evidence to support their claim. Tt1887 ( talk) 10:40, 15 October 2019 (UTC)
I am enjoying this part of editing especially now when I get to see the difference I can make. Its so important to read the article and find ways how to improve it. I find so much value now and feel good about the fact that I can use NYU library to add citation. Also I realized that you don't have to always look for errors. Sometimes you find useful information that you feel its relevant to the article. I was able to support the article by adding additional citation that supported the statement made. https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Climate_change&type=revision&diff=921487423&oldid=921176983 Nul90 ( talk) 00:57, 16 October 2019 (UTC)
