Week 6!

The two articles on wikipedia that I chose to evaluate are 'Stargate SG1' and 'Lupe Fiasco'.

'Stargate SG1' is a science fiction tv series that has been running for over 10 years and is a lead on from the original motion picture 'Stargate'. The article located on wikipedia is very long and is somewhat more detailed then most wikipedia entires. However this is neccasary as Stargate SG1 has 10 years of history and has a complex plotline. I believe that this article does a very effective job in being accurate and providing the basic facts sorrounding a show. The references that the information was obtained from are reliable sources as they come from the producers and writers themselves and television broadcast sites. The article provides the basic concpet around the stargate, production information, cast members the basic plotline over the 10 season outlining the different arcs that occur and also provides media information and future productions. After reading this article, even if a person had not seen the show before, they would have a pretty good understanding of what the show is about. The article follows the wikipedia guidelines quite well though the only downfall could be the size of the article. However as it was discussed previously, it was neccasary of the article to be this size and the article does do a good job connecting other relevant topics as there is alot more information on the Stargate world. The article also remains unbiased towards the show throughout the article.

'Lupe Fiasco' is a grammy award winning hip hop artist who rose to fame in 2006 following his debut release 'Food and Liquor'. This article is not as detailed as the 'Stargate Sg1' article but does provide the basic background information that is needed to fill anyone who hasn't heard of Lupe up to speed. Though the one downfall of this article could be the accuracy. Lupe Fiasco has always been very underground especially in his earlier career and likes to keep it that way and therefore alot of the information written about him was not from solid sources. This article however does follow the the wikipedia guidelines such as providing an article summary and complying with the article size. It also remains unbiased and just provides the information about the artist with no expression of opinion.

Both the articles I chose were effective and very well written articles. Any one person could read both these articles and be caught up to speed on the subject topics without any difficulty.
