Article Evaluation- Lifestyle trends and media
[edit]Evaluating Content
This article lacks content and more importantly lacks sources. The information seems incomplete and it does not appear to be very credible.
Evaluating Tone
The tone seems pretty neutral throughout the article, although not a lot of sources make it seem as though it has opinions.
Evaluating Sources
The sources of this article are not very good. There are only 7 sources for this particular article, and it is not a very short article.
The article I chose was "Death and the Internet". This article is edited but rarely contributed to. It does not seem to be very updated on recent events. I plan to add more examples and how it affects people. Right now the article is just based on the policies of different sites, and now causes and effects of it. There could be more content added to this page and updated to be more "modern".

Draft
[edit]Death and Social Media
With the heavy increase in social media use, social media is affecting the way deaths are treated. "Virtual funerals" and various other forms of previously physical memorabilia are being introduced into the digital world. [1] Information about the person and details of their death, life, and everything in between can now be found circling the internet.[2] After someone dies, on almost all of their social media accounts you can find condolences and final messages to the person or family. Families of deceased or dying people are receiving messages of encouragement and disbelief from friends and family around the world, and sometimes from people they haven't spoken to in a long time. [3] Social media has been having a huge impact on the way that we live and it is now affecting what happens after we pass away. The world is changing rapidly, so the traditional ways of the past and changing as well. Funerals and memorials were always done physically, but the internet has added freedom and allows people to perform the same tasks from all other the world.

===Excellent start. Your sources are credible and relevant. This is an interesting topic, and I'm eager to see what you add. Be sure your draft/content is free of grammar errors. You'll also need to think about how best to integrate this information by introducing it and explaining its significance (think sandwich). That will require adding more specific text. Complete draft is due by March 11. JAirhart 16:21, 7 March 2019 (UTC)
