Review section

[edit]

I am nominating this featured article for review because of concerns identified by Retired Duke on the talk page 3 months ago, mainly sourcing and datedness. This is a widely viewed article so hopefelly someone is willing to restore it. (t · c) buidhe 22:32, 8 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Great! As suggested by RD a good start would be incorporating some of the academic research on 4chan. Here are some suggestions of works that might be cited:
@Buidhe: Hi. I've emended the article thus far; I am writing to enquire on any specific areas you think work could be improved and/or vanquished. I've issued my own cautions and questions on the talk page, sadly to little fare. Personally, I think this article has a lot of flaws, beyond the nominally natural (chronology) and some foundational. Summarization - or lack thereof - is glaring and is my main area of focus, presently. If this were to be at FAC now, I would oppose. All the same, show must go own.

DMT Biscuit thanks so much for your work on the article so far. I'd agree with you that it needs substantial work in order to get it to meeting the FA criteria. The question is, is there someone willing to do it? Obviously you're not required to work on this article I agree that trivia is an issue, which could be reduced by relying more on scholarly sources or retrospectives rather than the news cycle. Another issue that I noticed was the citing of questionable sources such as Gawker, International Business Times, Forbes contributors, Metro, fimoculous (self-published website), Digiom Blog, as well as a considerable amount of self-sourcing. Many of these sources would need to be removed/replaced to meet the high-quality RS requirement. Other than that, I'm not really sure which sections need work. The article can stay at FAR as long as someone is working on it, but if you're done with the improvements you plan to make it should go to FARC. (t · c) buidhe 03:07, 14 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Buidhe: I am going to hash out some more summary changes and source review, for the greatest griveances. I am in agreement that it should go to FARC. There, hopefully, we can corrdinate some fresh eyes and set our sights on the heavy lifting. DMT Biscuit (talk) 03:28, 14 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
