Talk:Nerissa Wang
Comment from Julie Palmer: Hi Nerissa, I really enjoyed reading your statement. From your opening where you discussed the uniqueness of your name I became intrigued about what you found because I am the opposite, a very common name. You managed to come up in many search results right off the bat which is impressive but, as you discussed, slightly scary. The idea of people finding info on you that you don't even realize is out there is a strange feeling that I am glad you discussed. If anything, I would spend more time discussing that concept because I think it fits in well with your focus on the uniqueness of your name. What are people going to discover about you because of your name that someone named "David Smith" would never have to worry about? I think this is going to be a very interesting question moving forward as everything becomes even more 'online.' Good job with this!
Comment from Nico Figueroa: Hey Nerissa, cool name! I can appreciate how your data identity writing revolves around the duality of having an uncommon name in the era of social media because there's not really a right answer when it comes to anonymity. I think the strongest part of your article is how you walk the reader through each important result very meticulously, explaining the repercussions that piece of information could have on you depending on who finds it. My favorite parts to read are when you dive deeper into something interesting you found, it really gives a genuine feel to the writing and trying to find out how you are represented online.
The only constructive criticism I have is that maybe the intro paragraph could be a little bit more concise. I think that the main point of your article is to uncover the disconnect between the info you provide online (your identity) and how it is actually presented when people search for you, but I'm not 100% confident about that. I think that adding some more clarity to that first part would set the stage even better for the rest of your article and especially the conclusion.
Great writing, thanks for sharing!
Comment from Gordon Chan: Hey Nerissa, I think you did a great job with your data identity statement. I thought your investigation into your online identity was genuine and thorough, and I admire how you went to the extra effort to do things like searching in incognito mode, as well as how you were able to refine your search by adding 'michigan' to your search terms.
Your statement is well-crafted and is formatted logically, which makes it easy to read, and I can clearly follow your search process. Your statement is also formatted aesthetically and looks like a professional MediaWiki page. Overall, I think this was well-written, and the only advice I would have would be to perhaps include some captions for your images, so as to provide some context for the reader.
