Wiki Blog - Week 3

At this point, my group has been trying to clarify our points for our descriptions of solutions.  The problem has always been evident, but now we are devloping the ideas of sub-problems that could be caused by the solutions.  A major idea that I contributed was the specification of our solutions.  Originally, they were "low", "medium", and "high".  We have clarified this into a internet-wide-level, a network-wide-level, and an expert-level of security.  The details focus on how many and what types of users can access pages, as well as who is able to add and edit pages.

 

For my own research, I found this link (http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,507244,00.html).  In this story, our wonderful President Obama took a break from causing a 2nd great depression and sent one of his staffers to go clean up his Wikipedia page.  That person just so happened to delete some links to Bill Ayers and Jeremiah Wright, which obviously put Obama in a bad light.  This can be used for my article in the idea of "expert" opinions not necessarily being the correct ones if it is supposed to be a balanced article.  Sam can also use this article, because it shows how vandalism can distort viewpoints in specific articles.
