• Other sources:

• Is everything in the article relevant to the article topic? Is there anything that distracted you? It seems that the information is very basic and everything is relevant to the topic. There is nothing that I found distracting.
• Is the article neutral? Are there any claims, or frames, that appear heavily biased toward a particular position? Very biased, lack of sources to back up certain claims.
• Are there viewpoints that are overrepresented, or underrepresented? Overrepresented favoritism for social media with no sources, and no quantifiable information to show impact.
• Check a few citations. Do the links work? Does the source support the claims in the article? Links work and arguments made with sources do support claim.
• Is each fact referenced with an appropriate, reliable reference? Where does the information come from? Are these neutral sources? If biased, is that bias noted? Not everything is supported by a source. Sources include scholars' article and information. No advertisements and potentially biased information.
• Is any information out of date? Is anything missing that could be added? Outdated, nothing has been handed since 2017. I think that they need a section in which they explain how activist use this platform to their advantage for social movements.
• Check out the Talk page of the article. What kinds of conversations, if any, are going on behind the scenes about how to represent this topic? Biased conversation, basic structure...
• How is the article rated? Is it a part of any WikiProjects? Part of Wikipedia Sociology.
• How does the way Wikipedia discusses this topic differ from the way we've talked about it in class? I think that this is actually very similar to what we talk about in class because it doesnt't provide a very thorough explenation or comprehensive guide to understand how social media and social movements have impacted each other.
