Talk:Uber Eats
1. Length: Verify the length of the article and comment on it (it should be about 3000 words long. It is ok if the article is about 100 words shorter or longer).
Not quite at 3000 words yet. I see that there are unfinished sections though so finishing those should bring you to around 3000 words.
2. Structure: Does the article include the 3 major components of a good article? (1) an opening paragraph that summarizes the issue, 2) the body of the article in one or more sections, 3) statements are backed up by references to reliable sources. Elaborate on how the author met each component and how they can improve.
- So far, you seem to have a good background of the app in your body, but I would include an overview paragraph even before your background paragraph. The overview would contain the main sections of your article, and kinda give a general outline of what you plan on discussing later in your article. It provides more structure for the reader to know what you're addressing later in the article.
- What you have so far for body paragraphs looks pretty good, the only thing you're missing is citations. I'm not sure if the competitors section is necessary, but if you're going to talk about ethical concerns that relate to Uber's desire to outdo their competitors, it would be interesting to include.
- Again, references to reliable sources are missing. Even in the sections just giving background of the app, you should include where you got that information. If it isn't assumed to be general knowledge, then you should cite it.
I think overall your structure would be a lot more clear if you included headers and such to visually divide up your article. You can go into any page that already has it to see the syntax necessary to create those visual features. Another thing you could think about including would be a info box in the right corner at the beginning of your article that gives a general overview of the app itself; in mine, I included the type of app (location sharing, food, map, etc.), the launch date, status (active/inactive), the kind of product (application), platform, and the website. You can include whatever you want in it but it would probably be helpful to see some of the general information all consolidated in one area of the page. Also including a table of contents option right under the overview before the background you already have would be helpful to navigate the page easier and see what you're gonna talk about (I think the table of contents automatically shows up when you format your page to have headers and subheaders and such)
3. Clarity: Is the issue at stake clear to you? Do you understand what are the ethical issues exposed in the article and why they are important?
The ethical issues section of your article hasn't been started yet, so I can't really comment on them. I think that it would be important to note critiques of the app and where those critiques are coming from (newspapers, facebook posts, etc.). Personally in terms of my topic, I hadn't really thought to include why the issues are important, I just kinda mentioned the issues. So I think moving forward you can
4. Objective reporting (Neutral point of view): Is the article reporting on ethical issues / controversies objectively? i.e the author does not state personal opinions; if there are multiple stakeholders involved in a controversy, the author reports on multiple perspectives on the same issue; all statements are backed up by references; the author does not argue for anything, simply describes a controversy.
From what you have, I think you've approached the topic from a neutral standpoint. However the facts you've included in the background and how to use the app are kinda irrefutable and you can't really take a side on it. I'd make sure that you maintain a neutral point of view by just reporting the facts from various articles. I think it's also important to include reports about the company's response to those issues (if they have actually responded), and to note that they didn't respond if they didn't.
