Feedback on your article
[edit]Hello Bettitea, Thank you for writing your article in your sandbox! I have read the article and would like to give some feedback to improve your article to Wikipedia standards and customs. While your tutor will judge it content wise, I will look if it meets the quality standards we have on Wikipedia. I standard look for a series of subjects that need improvement or are okay.
- Intro sentence: Please check more existing Wikipedia articles, we make the subject in the first sentence bold. Why two capitals with "The Internet", not needed!
- Links: where are the links to other Wikipedia articles? Please look for keywords in your article and link them to other Wikipedia articles.
- Headers: Headers are okay.
- References: Please add references behind the dot, without a space before the reference. Please provide reference for sentence with "Henry Jenkins believes that", this is a claim and claims need a reference. Please add another reference in the section of "Criticism". Also: it is custom not to add an external link at the end of a reference, but to link the title of a source instead.
- Other: Please avoid abbreviations (like "e.g."), people that do not speak English as native language often find it difficult to understand them. Please also add at the bottom of the page a header "References" with in the line below the following: {{Reflist}} (instead of <references />).
- Ready to publish: because your article is about user-generated content, and the article User-generated content already exists in Wikipedia, your article can't be published as we only have one article for a single subject. But I would recommend you to look for parts of your article that you can add to the existing article. This I think can be done near the end of coming session.
I hope you can implement this feedback to your sandbox article before our next meeting. Thanks! Romaine (talk) 15:36, 28 November 2016 (UTC)
