“Wikipedia…” by Danah Boyd

Analyze the material in your chosen article to discover/define the author’s perspective and biases with regards to the topic being discussed in (i.e.the paper is exploring what the author of the article ACTUALLY personally thinks about the topic they are writing about rather than what they’re actually writing–this is NOT a summary of the article but an exploration of the subtext).
Why are certain phrases and quotes (from other individuals) employed by the author? What do those phrases and quotes say about the author’s biases? Why did they select those quotes?
How are “facts” utilized by the author? How are the “facts” presented? How does this indicate the author’s “real” opinion on the topic?
What biases come out due to these methods? How does the author’s public verbiage belie their actual personal/private opinions/feelings
Employ quotes (as in more than one) from the article to substantiate (“back up”) your claims and observations.
