What does the article (or section) do well? I think you did a great job cutting down certain sections and keeping the necessary information without making it too wordy. The sections are all also very objective and feature historical information, no personal opinions. I liked the additions made to workplace attitudes and tying in more current information. Also there seemed to be a good amount of reputable sources.

What changes would you suggest overall? I might add some slang trends among recent generations as it could be interesting and still completely objective if it was based on actual statistics. Some sub-headings might serve well from a bit more information added such as the demographics and generational consciousness section.

What is the most important thing that the author could do to improve his/her contribution? An addition to the history section would be helpful, and seeing if you can reference the initial groups mentioned initially. Overall, though it is pretty easy to follow and the subheadings that are longer are longer due to more needed information.

Did you glean anything from your classmate's work that could be applicable to your own? If so, let him/her know! I really need to incorporate smaller headings, yours are for the most part the perfect length and it is easy to pinpoint single areas of the topic if you should want to read only those. Your article also has good historical information, I may try to utilize more sources with this sort of information for my topic as well. Knapolitano60 (talk) 19:45, 26 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]


What does the article (or section) do well? You do a really nice job of giving plenty of examples of the generational differences in the workplace and explaining why the differences occurred. It

What changes would you suggest overall? Can you expand on some of the challenges that both millennials and baby boomers may have when dealing with the other generation? For example, do you know if the generational gap decreases productivity or causes tensions in the workplace? It would be interesting to see more of the effect of the generational gap. I also suggest adding more citations. For example, the sentence "To some managers, this generation is a group of coddled, lazy, disloyal, and narcissistic young people, who are incapable of handling the simplest task without guidance" could use a citation. Maybe also tone down some of the negative words that are being used in that sentence as well.

What is the most important thing that the author could do to improve his/her contribution? I think adding some comparisons to how Baby Boomers grew up would be an important thing to add. As many of the people who will read this article could be a millennial, they may have a hard time comparing their childhood to the childhood of a Baby Boomer so some comparisons would greatly help the readers!

Did you glean anything from your classmate's work that could be applicable to your own? If so, let him/her know! I loved how you had so many examples but still kept everything concise. That's exactly what people look for in Wikipedia. I might see what I can cut out of the addition I did to my article so it's less wordy and follows your structure a bit more.
