Wikipedia Worksheet

I decided to "random" my article, being as I just learned that was an option. I received an article on "optical pumping" also referred to as "laser pumping."

Worksheet

Three Users:
User:DanielSlaughter is Australian, a home-brewer, and is most likely an alcoholic. He had no written information but his pictures explains the first three items as well as he gets all of his information from google and likes to eat chili. He is not reliable.

User:Justin545 is not American, but some form of Asian. He has an intermediate level of English and has no credibility for this topic established. He is also not considered reliable.

User:Srleffler is very reliable in my opinion. He has a written bio and has established credibility for this topic. He is a physicist specializing in lasers and optics. He loves wikipedia and thinks it is the best thing since the library. He also is the one that debated with both above and edits the page regularly. He has increased my feeling of reliability on this page.

  1. Good examination of this Wikipedia's talk page.

    Be careful about making claims about users characters based on this information (ie. alcoholically).

    Additionally, be careful about assuming information is unreliable because a user does not have a full command of written English.
