Talk:Ethan Aziz

Well written Aziz, your expectations/thesis about your online presence were clearly articulated and, apparently, on the nose. I found myself falling into a similar box of normality when writing my own data ID draft, and I found it a bit difficult to attempt to insert concepts from the course into the flow of writing. Though it isn't explicitly mandatory to mention any of the authors we have read through this semester, it seems the examples (picked for quality) from the previous semesters include those kinds of textual references, so I would recommend tying some kind in, perhaps relating to your infosphere bit at the beginning – a concept I very much enjoy seeing. Beyond this, if there ever is the possibility of creating references (hyperlinks to other wiki pages), then do so. I neglected in doing this as well, but upon reflection, it makes sense to create links for words or concepts (such as infosphere) to their existing page. Cheers and well written. -Noah McGuire

Comments from Cooper Stevens

Hi, Ethan! I found it super interesting to read about your online identity and see how much we had in common (e.g. our tennis teams surely played against each other in high school)! You data identity statement is very well organized in a logical, flowing manner with concise - yet descriptive - subheadings. You are very clear about in what ways your online data identity is mostly complete, authentic, yet mostly unstable. How you came to this conclusion is also very clear from how you explained your evidence! However, I don't necessarily notice a "theme" to your statement. Such a theme would likely follow logically from what you concluded about your own data identity and it would be a more general statement about data ethics or data identities. If you choose to make such an addition, I would suggest that you first introduce this them in you introduction, then frame all of your evidence (for your conclusions about your data identity) around this theme to make the statement cohesive. Additionally, I might suggest that you add additional links to make this more like a Wikipedia page. Overall, your data identity argument is very convincing and well-supported. Great work!
