Week 12 feedback: I'm a little confused by what is in the talk page vs. what is in the sandbox, and which is correct for what is being moved to live wikipedia. It's also unclear where you have added/edited content in the sandbox as those changes are not bolded. Maybe we could meet to clarify things? There is a lot of good research here, but I need to have a clearer picture of what your final contribution will look like. Adrishaw (talk) 22:42, 16 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Things to work on for your Week 9 continued edits:

  • Evaluate an article: Go back to your article evaluation and pull out the list of things you said you could improve on the existing article. Put that list here in the talk page and cross things off as you do them (you can also edit what I have said below and cross things off as you complete them).
  • Copyedits: I recommend going back and seeing what you actually did in your copyedits and republishing the changes in your sandbox (make a small edit and reverse it) with explicit notes on what you changed from the original Wikipedia article. That way when you migrate your work to live Wikipedia you will be able to publish and explain each change as you go. Doing so is a required part of the Week 13 Wikipedia assignment.
  • Bibliography: You have a good start, and should start moving the summaries over to your sandbox with citations. You might also see what other sources you can add. In the existing Wikipedia article, for instance, there are call outs for "citation needed". Can you find any sources to cite there?
  • Citing sources: You DO NOT need to cite hyperlinks to other Wikipedia pages (so delete those). You should however start migrating your article summaries from your bibliography into your sandbox and adding those citations. You should also make clear where in the existing Wikipedia article you edits/additions will go.
  • Adding media/hyperlinks: Again, you don't need to add citations for hyperlinks but you should go through and see if there are things that should be hyperlinked in whatever you add and the existing article. The images you added are fine, but be sure before you add media to the live Wikipedia article that it is actually necessary or contributes to the article (that is, you had to do it for this assignment, but in your final Wikipedia contributions don't add it just to add it).
  • Content: You can streamline your writing (in general, but especially in the sentence you added under "cited information"). The two sentences could be one, and need some editing.
  • Overall: You have a good foundation, but should focus on planning all the additions you are going to add next and organizing what you have. The more planning you can do now the easier it will be for you to chip away at those edits between now and November 22 when you need to move your final edits to live Wikipedia.

What needs to be changed/added? Check-List:

  • The introductory sentence does not meet the overall requirements and composition of integrating a definition and concise description of the article. the mentioning of "family of invisible friends" embarks on the verge of attempting to include aspects of invisibility through the internet. Which, does not necessarily define an "Online Communities" Edited in "New introductory Paragraph"
  • The lead or introduction does not includes the sections of the topics' site that mentions the motivations of these 'sites communities', the functionality of the consumer/vendor integration of the communities, and legalities that could be included into the lead as well Edited in "New introductory Paragraph"
  • Many of the statistics mentioned throughout the document are from the years of 2013-2017 [see "Social Networks", "Popularity", "Newcomers (inbound)", etc], not many from recent years or [on occasion] where the information is coming from. The percentages that are also used throughout the page are only to emphasis a particular point or statement, not to provide feedback or reasonings as to why the information should be included
  • There are viewpoints that are underrepresented, such as "Online Health Communities", where the information present is simplified and concise though there could be much to add to the subtopic, especially if information of virtual doctor visits were to be added. Edited in "New introductory Paragraph"
  • Although the information included in and throughout the article does included connected sources to showcase truth in the information- but this sources was from a certain time period, and as such the most recent of the information stops art 2017
  • No, there are truly no images, depictions of the percentages included, or even 'fun' pops of color within this article that would help to establish a better understanding of the topic discussed. It is very heavily just information-based, ad information discussed in the entirety of the article. Yet, there is one image that is included but it is a screenshot of the discussed "newly installed version of IPB 3.4.6". Edited in the New Media section
  • The article needs a major update in terms of sources and the 'latest' information about the online community and online forums, and how they both help to increase communication and also demonstrate a stonier connection to the newest forms of technology today

Remaining points need to be added and found in statistical sources--To be Continued.

Moved Information

  • Added Paragraph: Development

Fandom is an example of what online communities can evolve into. Online communities have grown in influence in "shaping the phenomena around which they organize" according to Nancy K. Baym's work. She says that: "More than any other commercial sector, the popular culture industry relies on online communities to publicize and provide testimonials for their products." The strength of the online community's power is displayed through the season 3 premiere of BBC's Sherlock. Online activity by fans seems to have had a noticeable influence on the plot and direction of the seasons opening episode. Mark Lawson of The Guardian recounts how fans have, to a degree, directed the outcome of the events of the episode. He says that "Sherlock has always been one of the most web-aware shows, among the first to find a satisfying way of representing electronic chatter on-screen". — Preceding unsigned comment added by MooreOrLess31 (talk • contribs) 02:13, 12 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Original Introductory Paragraph for Online Community and Changes

[edit]

"Online Community" Introductory Header/ Paragraph[edit]

  • Online community ~ Original[edit]

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to navigationJump to search An online community, also called an internet community or web community, is a whose members interact with each other primarily via the Internet. For many, online communities may feel like home, consisting of a "family of invisible friends". Those who wish to be a part of an online community usually have to become a member via a specific site and thereby gain access to specific content or links. An online community can act as an information system where members can post, comment on discussions, give advice or collaborate. Commonly, people communicate through social networking sites, chat rooms, forums, e-mail lists and discussion boards. People may also join online communities through video games, blogs and virtual worlds. The rise in popularity of Web 2.0 websites has allowed for easier real-time communication and connection to others, and facilitated the introduction of new ways for information to be exchanged.

One scholarly definition of an online community is this: "a virtual community is defined as an aggregation of individuals or business partners who interact around a shared interest, where the interaction is at least partially supported or mediated by technology (or both), and guided by some protocols or norms".
