Fresh start for page

The old page for cyberanthropology was incoherent, had a host of complaints about it (most along the lines of "does this really exist") and had not been updated in years. I will try and put more time into this over the next few weeks. I think it needs a history section, more examples of case studies, better referencing, and some feedback from people unrelated to anthropology to get an idea of its readability.

Dear Yablochko, Thank you for the rewrite. I reevaluated the importance. Geraldshields11 (talk) 19:46, 14 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Suggested Areas of Improvement

While this page gives a decent general description about the field of digital anthropology, it is lacking in a host of areas.

First and foremost, the article is tagged with areas that need sources and references. If those that remain on the page cannot be sourced, they should be replaced with other information.

To add to this point, the article needs more peer-reviewed sources, or sources with more in depth analysis of what digital anthropology means. The article has too much reliance on blurbs about the subject area from universities.

Additionally, an article about digital anthropology should really discuss the larger conversation in anthropology on non-geographic culture areas and the concepts of non-human culture. Because the digital space, as a potential "field" involves opportunities for interaction across physical space and between humans, personas, bots and AI, these are subjects integral to the understanding of digital anthropology. To start, there needs to be more detail about the approaches of the noted anthropologists and their arguments about the significance and relevance of this area of the discipline.

In sum, this article is a great start but it fails to present a robust picture of the subject.
