Talk:Body culture studies

Untitled
This article is in need for improvement, and I would rate this as a C class article based on my obvservations. It lacks citations in the reading, and instead just lists citations at the end of the article. It is not clear if the article has external links, and should include external links in a separate heading. External links are useful for looking into further information on a subject and should hold neutral and informative information about the subject you are talking about. Also many of the references are linked to another wikipedia page, which is not a sufficient reference. First, you don't know if the referenced Wikipedia page has reliable sources itself, and secondly references should be academic journals or any article online that is reliable and peer-reviewed. A lot of references listed on wikipedia have a direct link to the article for readers to view, and I noticed not every reference on this article has a link to click on. Also, another area for improvement is at the beginning paragraph. It does talk about what the subject is right away but it also talks about the history of the topic, which should be under the Earlier Studies in Body and Culture section instead, and should be cleaned up and simplified. The history list was a decent length, and I saw many contributions to the article, but I could not find anybody else discussing on the talk page. To make a sufficient article, it is vital to discuss with others your thoughts and ideas to get feedback and to overall make the best article you can. (Ashleynicole11 (talk) 01:41, 29 January 2016 (UTC)) The article does follow some of Wikipedia's five pillars, including Wikipedia as an encyclopedia. This article gives information about many different aspects of the subject on body culture and does explain it in a neutral view without any debate, interpretations, or opinions. It has good structure and aesthetics by showing a contents list, which makes it easy for the reader if the reader wants information on a certain aspect of the subject. It shows a visual picture of the topic being discussed which can draw the reader in. (Ashleynicole11 (talk) 13:39, 29 January 2016 (UTC))
