It relates to my analytical essay because I talked about how Barack Obama was thought to have reversed Malia's suspension from Harvard. This was proven to be false but many people thought it was true.]]> 2017-10-11 22:24:03 UTC https://padlet.com/dru_loman/9s1fotyvfibr/wish/196236238 dru_loman https://padlet.com/dru_loman/9s1fotyvfibr/wish/196237344 2017-10-11 22:34:36 UTC https://padlet.com/dru_loman/9s1fotyvfibr/wish/196237344 dru_loman https://padlet.com/dru_loman/9s1fotyvfibr/wish/196237405 First off I thought to myself, "Why would someone want to click on this article?" I realized this had a connection with Schulz. Many of the people who would read this article are people who do not like Obama. They want to read information showing them that their beliefs about him are correct.]]> 2017-10-11 22:35:04 UTC https://padlet.com/dru_loman/9s1fotyvfibr/wish/196237405 dru_loman https://padlet.com/dru_loman/9s1fotyvfibr/wish/196241178 This page had more than 500 revisions.

It says that this article needs additional proof of citations. This is an immediate sign that something could be a little funky with the article. ]]> 2017-10-11 23:29:03 UTC https://padlet.com/dru_loman/9s1fotyvfibr/wish/196243339 dru_loman https://padlet.com/dru_loman/9s1fotyvfibr/wish/196243686 After reading this article, it showed me that while Wikipedia has its flaws, it can actually be a fairly good source. While the writing in my article was somewhat biased at times, it provided the necessary facts to prove that Barack Obama is indeed a Christian. While there are some inaccurate articles on Wikipedia, this one presented itself to be true. While of course it is important to do your own research, you cannot automatically rule out Wikipedia because there is indeed some good information. ]]> 2017-10-11 23:32:14 UTC https://padlet.com/dru_loman/9s1fotyvfibr/wish/196243686 dru_loman https://padlet.com/dru_loman/9s1fotyvfibr/wish/196245878 This was a big factor in the article. The article's information was not incorrect, but there was definitely some bias. The talk page was rather long. Here is one of example of how the author should not have used the term, "false claims."]]> 2017-10-11 23:54:06 UTC https://padlet.com/dru_loman/9s1fotyvfibr/wish/196245878
