Talk:Robocalls

Peer Review

Length

The article is the proper length for a draft (around 1200 words), but more needs to be added before the final.

Structure

The structure of the article is also correct, as it starts with a few sentences describing what a robocall is and then explains what the ethical issues are with robocalls. I thought it was helpful that the introduction also mentioned that the article would discuss the legislation that has been created to combat robocalls. After the introduction, the body of the article is split up into sections: History, Ethical Implications, and Combating Robocalls. Each section is also very well researched, every fact and statistic is cited correctly and comes from a reliable source. I did notice that a bulk of the article is focused on the legislation and technology used to combat robocalls, and I felt that there was a lot of room for more information in the history and ethical implications sections. Each subheading only had a few sentences, while the subheadings in the legislation and technology section were more expanded upon.

Clarity

In terms of clarity, I again felt that the legislation and technology section was very well researched and I felt I learned a lot, but I would have liked to hear more about the specific ethical issues. For example, in the spams subheading in the Ethical Implications section, the article states “Many of the individuals harmed by robocall scams are elderly and of hispanic background”. It could benefit the article to discuss why these people are targeted and go into more detail into how they are harmed.

Objective Reporting

Finally, I felt that this article was completely objective. Each claim was backed up with evidence, multiple points of views were discussed, and I could detect no bias in the writing.
