Talk:CAPTCHA

Length: The length is 1,182 words excluding the sources but including the article headers which is a good amount for the rough draft.

Structure: The article starts with an opening paragraph explaining the origins of CAPTCHA, what its purpose is, and how it is doing good. Then it states the ethical dilemma near the end which I like because it leads into the rest of the article. The body of the article is broken down into more than one section which is good because they seem to all serve different purposes. One thing however is that I don't see much expanding on the ethical issues. Most of the sections seem to be facts about CAPTCHA, and while that is objective, the point is to make objective statements on the ethical issues. I see there is a section on "Web Accessibility Concerns" which probably will talk about the ethical issues, but compared to how many other sections there are, I think you should consider cutting out some of the other factual information and talk about more ethical issues if you can find them. Finally, the article has 17 sources, and they are all being cited as necessary throughout the article.

Clarity: The issue was made clear in the opening paragraph, but it hasn't been expanded on in the other sections. A good idea is to tie all of these sections back to the ethical concerns in some way if possible. For example, you could expand on the ethical implications of the human labour "factories" in Asia that people use to bypass solving CAPTCHAs.

Objective reporting: The article is very objective while still being informative. There is no first person being used and there is any idea that is being pushed by the article. One more thing that could expand on the ethical issues while staying objective is seeing if there are already any ethical arguments being made about CAPTCHAs and expand on both sides of the argument while staying objective.
