Comments on your comments

Hello Yannasummer and Siboyle,

So very cool that this is part of an education project. I have some thoughts about the parameters and scope of a Wikipedia article related to your (very smart) comments here. Is it appropriate to respond? Let me know if it is! Thanks, carry on! Julie JSFarman (talk) 17:53, 3 April 2017 (UTC)

Of course, Julie! I would love to hear your thoughts. I also added some possible edits to my sandbox and would welcome feedback. Thank you! Sarah Siboyle (talk) 23:29, 4 April 2017 (UTC)

Peer Review 2

I thought this article was off to a good start. However, I'd like to point out a few things. This article is missing more background about the domestic violence situation that took place. Perhaps you should include more statements from both the victim (Janay Rice) and the abuser Ray Rice. Maybe even talk more about how this trending hashtag sparked the dialogue on domestic violence. A good way of doing this would be to provide examples of tweets that were used with the specific hashtag. This would add more to the hashtag and article besides Janay Rice and Beverly Gooden's story.

Some thoughts

While none of the information was out of date and everything was cited with reliable sources, I did feel this article was missing a substantial amount. Something I felt was absent from this article was a response from Janay Rice. Perhaps she didn’t speak on the issue, which is something I would like to look into as part of this project, but to me it was a burning question as to why Beverly Gooden was essentially Rice’s voice of defense and Rice had no comment on the issue. I am also curious as to how Ray Rice responded to a campaign that was in response to his horrendous actions. More information and research about the event that spawned this trending movement rather than sole focus on the movement itself would improve this article immensely.

Possible additions to article

I would like to do more research on the Rices themselves to see how each party reacted specifically to this trending hashtag. I also want to look further into the Digiorno controversy, as the article has only a nod to the fact that the pizza company accidentally used this hashtag as a promotional tactic. Perhaps a few specific examples of stories that abuse victims have shared would also work to enhance the article. Further, I'd be curious to see if this movement encouraged anyone to leave an abusive relationship and what their stories are. Siboyle (talk) 17:28, 15 February 2017 (UTC)
