Hi! I am looking to edit this article as part of a project for a class. With ISIS' use of social media, we thought it would be good to update some of their information. Here are some of the sources that we are thinking of adding:

• Article: Social Media Strategy of ISIS
• http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/00396338.2014.985436?journalCode=tsur20
• Provides an in-depth look at ISIS’ overall social media strategy and investigates its’ effectiveness
• Article: ISIS created its own social network to spread propaganda
• https://www.engadget.com/2017/05/04/isis-created-its-own-social-network-to-spread-propaganda/
• This article details ISIS’ effort to work against social media platforms banning their material. Adding evidence from this article would be helpful to explain that ISIS is making it’s own social media platform
• Article: Why ISIS is winning the social media War
• https://www.wired.com/2016/03/isis-winning-social-media-war-heres-beat/
• This article explains the organization’s success and draws parallels to other terrorist organizations such as the KKK in the early 20th century.
• Article: ISIS bans fighters from using social media
• http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/middle-east/isis-ban-facebook-youtube-twitter-instagram-social-media-fighters-spying-dissent-islamic-state-a7803406.html
• This article provides an internal look at the operations of ISIS and their contradictory decision to ban the use of Social Media among some of their members

Hey! Here's the feedback for your sandbox. Most of it we went over in class, but if you have any questions feel free to let me know

• Nice introduction - summarizes the article well without going into too much detail
• Some formatting things: long quotes should be in a blockquote format (WP:QUOTE), try to avoid having many one-sentence paragraphs, etc
• I like the variety of sources used, but some of your citations have errors - be sure to give complete citations, and check that all of your named refs include full citation information associated with them
• Maintain a neutral and encyclopedic tone at all times - don't use phrases like "scramble to cover"
• If you want to move your article into mainspace, here's how:

1. Format it as you would a real article, and remove the sandbox template at the top. Save the page.
2. Under the drop-down arrow at the top of the page (in the same row as Edit), select Move
3. Change the drop-down menu option to "(Article)", replace your sandbox name with a descriptive title, note "mainspacing" or similar as the reason, and click Move
4. Add links to your article from other pages, and add categories. There's also a template on the course page that you can add above this message. Nikkimaria (talk) 12:24, 10 April 2012 (UTC)

Hi! Good job on your article. Im impressed with the level of organization and clarity. I think you did a good job making the introduction broad but also concise. In terms of the block quotes, I think you overused them. If you cut them down and paraphrase more content then your article can become more accessible to a larger audience. Good job!

Hi! I think that you have done a nice job on this article. I plan on adding more information about Boko Haram and Isis' techniques for using social media. Here are the sources that I am going to add.

Domestic terrorism in the US

In the wake of the recent insurrection in the world's preeminent nuclear superpower, as well as the reliance on social media by its associated rioters, organized groups, and politicians, I think it's probably worth updating this article to better reflect current assessments of the role of social media in domestic terrorism in Western countries.
