Talk:Cooper Stevens

Soumya Tejam’s Comments:

Cooper — I really enjoyed reading your data identity statement and at many instances found myself relating to your experiences and conclusions. I particularly appreciated the discussion surrounding your intentions behind curating your online persona. It provided context for the specific anecdotes and evidence that you examined when you approached the websites and links that were associated with your name.

In your future revisions, I would encourage you to restructure your argument so that the question that you probe in the conclusion might be posed earlier. Your wiki discussion can showcase your discovery process into this question and lead us to your conclusion and suggestion that online identities might better serve as a verification mechanism. I think you touch lightly on this idea, and I would encourage you to probe further, perhaps ask the question: How verifiable is our identity if we can control its presentation online?

Finally, I think you maintained great clarity and succinctness throughout your statement. I found your language to be analytical yet accessible and was able to follow your train of thought throughout the wiki. My only suggestion would be to rethink the headers and their formatting in the ‘Googling Myself’ section and creating a more pronounced connection between the headings. Overall, great work and I look forward to reading your final wiki!
