Talk:Social Media Influencers and Unrealistic Expectations

Overall, I found this article really interesting and it is definitely a problem that we are constantly seeing in today's world, especially with the heavy use of social media. Based on the requirements for the assignment and what makes a good wikipedia article I have written the following recommendations: The length of the article does not meet the 3000 word requirement so far, but it is currently only a partial draft, so it makes sense that it is not near the word requirement yet. Each section also does not look like it is complete, so I don't think that it will be a problem to get to the requirement. Right now it is roughly around 1200 words. The article does include the 3 major components of a good article. It has an opening paragraph that summarizes the issue, there is a body of the article in more than one paragraph and the statements are backed up by relevant sources. I like the organization of the paragraphs and subjects for each section. It was divided very clearly and seems to fit what you are trying to achieve in your article. Since it is a partial draft, it is unclear if the intro paragraph is done or not. If it is done, one recommendation that I have is to expand on it a little bit more and add more information. For the history of social media influencers, I would add more background information about the certain apps that these influencers use. Elaborate in more detail about instagram, tiktok, snapchat, facebook, etc… I would also add external links when you talk about these apps so that your readers have more information. Under the body positive influencers section, I would either add some examples of how certain influencers or companies are not doing a good job at addressing the problem or create another section for it. Another recommendation would be to move the demographics section to early in the article. Potentially under the history section of your article. If you need more to write about, a potential additional ethical concern could be about certain social media influencers just in it for the money. Talk about how they don't actually care about the products that they are promoting or how certain products may not align with the values that they believe in. Your references seem to come from credible sources, I would just try and add in a variety of different sources. For clarity, the issue at stake is clear. I understand the ethical issues exposed in the article and why they are important. I would recommend adding in a part about how these unrealistic expectations caused by social media influencers are affecting their viewers/fans and some ways that they could change/resolve the issues in the future. The author provides examples when necessary. I would add in more for each section, however, I do not believe this will be a problem since it is only a partial draft and is not fully complete yet. Yes, the article is written from a neutral point of view. The author does not write personal onions and is writing subjectively. All statements are backed up by references and the author does not argue for anything. Continue to keep backing up your arguments with references when you add more examples. Overall, you did a great job on what you have so far!
