Structure:

I think the structure of this article is pretty good at the moment. The intro is concise but provides an effective introduction for what follows and the two main sections work to present the information in an informative manner that lends itself well to the encyclopedia format. Although I feel like the background section could be broken up into more descriptive categories, I don’t think it being one larger section necessarily distracts from the information at hand. Overall I think the structure is solid.

Content:

I think the article as a whole is rather well cited and doesn’t rely too heavily on any one source of information. The background section provides readers without a background in the topic with an effective overview that doesn’t come off as too biased or lacking in any one regard. The article does rely on direct quotations in many places which is not necessarily ideal for a tertiary source, but it is done in such a way that it helps the article avoid making value judgements. Since some of the problems addressed in the article are controversial to this day, directly presenting the information from its source (rather than writing something such as “some people say” or “government officials think”) is actually quite effective. Since I don't know much about the subject I am unsure if there are certain content gaps, but overall I would say the number of sources and their range ensure a fairly good presentation of the topic.

General:

Overall I really liked how the article was presented. I think the section on internet circumvention was also a very good addition as it provides the reader access to another wide range of information on a similar topic while still remaining relevant to the topic at hand. I think the edit that you made that differentiated the types of internet access helped improve the quality of the article and represents the kind of unbiased factual edits that make the site work well. I am unsure if you are considering editing this page more, but if you are even small edits like the one above can make a big difference. My biggest point would be to maybe add more information that doesn’t rely on quotations of people involved in the current processes of censorship or resistance (such as something like an academic journal if you could find one on the topic). Other than that I will take away the wide use of sources as a way to improve on my own article. Seems like a good article. Willshinexc (talk) 03:43, 16 November 2018 (UTC)willshinexcReply
