Review of "Comments and ethics"

I chose to review wiki "Comments and ethics" since it also has only two participants as our team.

Wiki was composed in Google code, which is basically ok to choose but maybe not the best choise for wikipage. Users were posting their info with separate links and divided their tasks.

Andris Reiman described the short history of anonymous comments in Estonia. He pointed out that comments can be very often vulgar and said with the bad voice and are affecting people's morality and feelings. He has well described how there was a precedent with the website Delfi.ee was sued and won becouse of anonymous vulgar comment and beeing responsible for this comment. On the second section of his wiki he describes the fighting mesures agains lame comments by different portals. Andris has put lot of facts in hes wiki and in continious order it is very easy to read and understand the current situation in anonymous comments area. References were provided with footnotes and were cited correctly. I am satisfied with the work of Andris.

Raul reiska wrote about Internet phenomenon and was using lot of wikipedia information. The flow of the Wiki wasn't very easy to read and somehow I lost myself several times and had to think about the subject again. Some points of he's wiki were trivial and not logically used. In the end I mostly understood the subject of the Wiki, and think that it should have been more informative. There were only two rows of information about ethics in the end explaining the unethical postings in one Estonian blog. Also I am not very satisfied with the references which are only taken from Wikipedia online except 1 youtube link and blogaddress for refering one Estonian blog. I am not very satisfied with the work of Raul.

I think that Andris and Raul should have picked better software for their Wiki and would have participated more in their teamwork. Its clear that they did not collaborate much as their referencing style and logical structure are different.
