B.] For my critique of a Wikipedia page on a historical topic I looked up Calling Cards (a.k.a. Visiting Cards).

Since I was familiar with the subject of calling cards, or visiting cards as they often are referred to and which is the name I found them listed under on Wikipedia, from having written my History 300 paper on them, I thought it would be interesting to see what other people knew about them and what information Wikipedia offered on the subject.

My paper had focused on calling cards and how they pertained to women’s etiquette in America during the Gilded Age and even though that greatly narrows a topic which could be expanded upon much father it seems that it is one which has not been of interest to a great many people and thus the Wikipedia entry for it was quite short. The information listed in the history section was to my limited knowledge fairly accurate although I was reminded on how little this subject had been studied as I noticed how there was not any real mention of the contrast in format and color between the cards printed in the U.S. and in Britain in the 19th/20th c. There were hardly any inline citations which calls into question where in the information explicitly came from yet this makes sense when one remembers this is a cite edited by many people who have varying degrees of knowledge and understanding of the subject. This page was created in 2003 and developed from a few sentences to now containing an “intro/definition”, “history”, and “see also” section. The last update for this page was in January 2013. Images have also been added since the page was first created giving the reader an clearer idea of what a calling card actually looked like. The cites listed as links to where more information could be found were informative however it was unclear as to how accurate they even were. I did find it interesting however that one of the sources listed (a book by Emily Post) in the “References” section was one which I had actually found in my previous research.

 C.] Student Blog

This was an interesting blog, especially since it was not created by any one real person. The point to take from it are that one should never believe everything that can be founded online. Just because a video looks real or an article or blog post sounds like someone’s honest writing one can never be sure until you do some solid research into the author and history of the online source.
