Article evaluation

Hi! I just wanted to drop a note - when you do article evaluations, make sure that you post them to your sandbox or userpage only. They shouldn't go on the talk page of the article itself. I saw that you posted a quick note to the article's talk page and wanted to just give you a head's up about this. Cheers! Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 20:55, 24 January 2019 (UTC)

• Ah - my apologies! I saw where your article evaluation is - nevermind! Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 20:58, 24 January 2019 (UTC)

I'm not sure how to link my article evaluation to my sandbox. Can you assist me? SHRansom (talk) 16:22, 29 January 2019 (UTC)

SHRansom's Peer Review

Hi SHRansom! Apologies that I don't know your real first name. However, I want to give you some feedback on your Conflict Styles article. First, I applaud you for taking on an article that was not previously published. That takes a lot of time, commitment, and effort, so congrats on that. Let's dive in here. I'm noticing that your introduction paragraph leaves a lot to be desired. For example, you state "There are several models related to conflict styles, and most utilize five style types." This doesn't provide the reader with any real content or information, it just prompts me to say "Well what are the models and style types?". Please be sure to be thorough in your explanations when stating these kinds of facts. Next, I think that the article has a nice flow to it. You start with an introduction of what conflict styles are, lead into how they were created, and follow it with how they are applied. Intuitively this makes a lot of sense to me. One thing that I would do is add some additional content surrounding how conflict styles are applied. You state that it impacts how a person resolves conflict and then jump to a workplace application. Perhaps you can give more surrounding the workplace and why it's important to have certain conflict styles over the others. I think that you did a great job of making sure that every fact you put was linked back to a source, so awesome job on that! Something that would add a bit more depth to your article would be linking certain phrases and words to their applicable Wikipedia link. For example, see if there is a page on dominating, and link your word to that page so that if readers are looking for additional content, you have already directed them to the next place. Overall, you use a nice, neutral tone and don't appear to display any bias or opinions in your writing which is EXACTLY what we are looking to avoid. Good job on that! I notice a couple of minor grammatical errors such as "to" when it should read "two" in the sentence "Not only does conflict style affect outcome, but it also impacts the relationship between to people involved". Try to use Grammarly or another editing source when writing to ensure that you don't have those issues. In addition, try to incorporate more content if possible into the lead itself. I know that it is only supposed to be a summary, but the more context you give, the more you are able to convince us that this article is important and something that needs to be read. Upon reviewing your sources, your sources appear to be scholarly, just be careful because Journals can often contain biased information. Your Creation of Content Styles is the most thorough and clear section, just make sure you try to add additional content beyond the list of conflict styles if possible. Overall, I think that you did an amazing job, you can tell that you spent a lot of time on this, and it took courage to create an article on your own. This conflict styles page adds a lot to Wikipedia and you should be proud of it. Brianna Williams 04:52, 1 March 2019 (UTC)
