Talk:Amazon Prime Video

1) Length

You are off to a great start! You are not quite at 3,000 words, so just remember to reach that word count before next Friday (1/11).

2) Structure

I like the overall structure of your page so far! I like that you have subcategories under your “Features” section. I think that a few other things worth exploring that you could add to your outline are in the header of the site (Home, Free to me, Store, etc.). Additionally, if you need another topic to explore I would look into the “Movies we think you’ll like” recommendation. You could look into the algorithm behind their recommendations, when this feature was added, how they decide what films are similar to films you have already watched, and more. Furthermore, another topic you could discuss is the difference between “kids” and “normal” Amazon Prime. You could potentially connect this to the “Unregulated Content” section under “Ethical Concerns”. You could also discuss what makes a program fit for kids (maybe it is the rating, style of film or something else; these are just my guesses). Finally, you could add a section about how to filter the different movies and shows (Genres, language, etc.). I think that you could add a lot of these suggestions under your “Features” category as sub-headers, but I also think it is worth considering more headers.

Regarding your “History” section, I think you are on the right track! I like the information you included about Unbox. One suggestion I have for this section is to put your findings in a table and organize them in chronological order. For my article, I am writing about Google Maps. I also have a History section on my page, so if you are interested in the code for a formatted table you can use my layout. Another suggestion I have for this section is to include when significant updates were made.

To continue, one topic that we discussed in class that is relevant to your Wiki page is how things are categorized. I briefly touched on this idea above when I mentioned filtering, so I think that you could either give this its own section or add it under the ethics section depending on your research. Additionally, I found an article that discusses different ethical concerns regarding Amazon Prime such as personal financial cost, delivery and more. I am not sure if the article itself is credible because it is a blog, but it is a good starting point if you want to do further research.

3) Clarity

In general, I think you did a nice job at getting the main point across in the sections you have finished. One thing that I would potentially add somewhere in your article for clarity is that Amazon Prime Video can be used online or through a mobile app.

4) Objective Reporting (Neutral POV)

I think that your point of view is pretty neutral overall. One suggestion I have is for this sentence in your Unregulated Content section: “As Amazon Prime Video has been a newer streaming service compared to the likes of established services like Netflix and Hulu, Amazon's strategy has been focused on amassing large volumes of content to give it the competitive edge.” Instead of mentioning how it is a competition between Netflix and Hulu, I would rephrase to just say “Since its initial release, Amazon Prime Video has amassed large volumes of content”. I am not sure if talking about “strategy” violates the neutral point of view requirement.

Overall, I really like what you have so far! It is completely up to you if you want to use my suggestions above.

Good luck with finishing the rest of your article! :)
