Annotation

Wikipedia underscores content objectivity. Still, Wikipedia articles also handle negative events that eventually evoke intense emotions. Unwished results (e.g., earthquakes) are known to evoke sorrow, while unwished results induced by others’ actions (e.g., terrorist attacks) are known to evoke crossness.
