Welcome
[edit]Hello, Alleycat41498 and welcome to Wikipedia! It appears you are participating in a class project. If you haven't done so already, we encourage you to go through our training for students.
If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place {{Help me}} before the question. Please also read this helpful advice for students.
Before you create an article, make sure you understand what kind of articles are accepted here. Remember: Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and while many topics are encyclopedic, some things are not.
Your instructor or professor may wish to set up a course page, and if your class doesn't already have one please tell your instructor about that. It is highly recommended that you place this text: {{Educational assignment}} on the talk page of any articles you are working on as part of your Wikipedia-related course assignment. This will let other editors know this article is a subject of an educational assignment and aid your communication with them.
We hope you like it here and encourage you to stay even after your assignment is finished! Dreamy Jazz 🎷 talk to me | my contributions 17:38, 19 October 2018 (UTC)
Peer Editing
[edit]Peer Editing- Emily Westermeyer
-I feel that the intro to the Linguistic Anthropology page before her edits was short and used language that may be difficult to understand if someone was a novice in the topic.
-The lead does reflect information from the rest of the article but I feel that it is missing some points that are made in the rest of the article. (race, ethnicity, information behind the topic)
-The sections are organized well but there are some sections that are light on necessary information
-The article does a good job of presenting the paradigms of the topic and some of the research done on the topic. There is a section about race and ethnicity that is very short and is immediately followed by a long list of citations which Alex plans to fix (adding more information to the section and taking out any unnecessary citations)
-Even though the language is a little too scholarly and formal, the article does a good job of stating facts and ensuring that there are no biased statements being made.
-Those who created and edited the article did a good job of pointing out the views of those who created the three paradigms and making sure that they didn't put their own viewpoints in the article
-The article does a good job of pointing out the negative and the positive to keep a neutral feel to the article
Share the Love: After reading the article and listening to Alex's plans for improving the article, I think her changes will be beneficial for the article and for people who want to look up information on Linguistic Anthropology
