Talk:Bias in Dating Apps

Length

The length of the article is a little over 900 words. I would add more substance to the Tinder section under “How the Algorithm Works.”

Structure

The article does include an opening paragraph that summarizes the issue, the body of the article in one or more sections, and statements that are backed up by references to reliable sources. The opening paragraph is at the top of the article and summarizes the issues. It could be improved by making sure everything discussed in the paragraph is touched upon in the rest of the article. The opening paragraph talks about how bias can come from apps like Instagram or Spotify which are linked to dating apps, but that bias is not further discussed later on. Additionally, the opening paragraph brings up the topic of collaborative filtering. However, it is not expanded upon later on in the article. I would either take out these two topics from the opening paragraph or keep them in but also discuss them later on in the article. The body of the article is broken up into three logical sections with logical subsections. I would recommend including more subsections about other dating apps besides just Tinder. You do a good job of including a large and diverse array of sources, and all your statements are backed up by reliable sources. My only comment would be to double check if you can use Wikipedia as one of your sources.

Clarity

The issue at stake is clear to me, and I understand what the ethical issues are in the article. There are biases and discrimination within dating apps that needs to be resolved. One area you could expand upon is by making the impacts of the discrimination more quantifiable.

Objective Reporting

The article is reported objectively. There are no personal opinions. The author talks about how preferences on dating apps can lead to bias, but they could expand upon how those preferences could be beneficial to include more perspectives.
