Hi Fan, The article has a brief and clear introduction for beginners to a quick idea of the goal of this theory’s application for and its theoretical constructs, which is really nice. I think the improvement of this article should be focused on the rearrangement of the chunks in the body part, plus more solid references. To start with, there are several small mistakes that can be corrected in the article. In various parts of the article, when former editors cited sources, there is no clear reference information in the text. The citations only start with “more recently” or “a more recent”; also, some arguments and evidences are given without footnot of citation, which is ambiguous to understand the development progress in this area and make the citations seem unreliable. It would be nice if the recent editor can check the sources and offer clearer reference information. For the “Theoretical Constructs” parts, I think if it is possible, an image of the model would be more readable than the formula we have so far under the headline (perhaps the image in the introduction will be a nice one and we can move it to this part). Also, when illustrating influential factors in the model, the examples are embedded in the body text. And not every factor has examples. I was thinking that maybe making a new paragraph of the examples for each sub-headline would be more friendly for the readers to find the contents they need, and helpful to understand what these factors stands for. Some chunks of influential factors lack examples. More solid sources and the rearrangement of the text are needed to develop these examples, but this will be a worthwhile try. In the end, I would suggest thinking about to move contents of the “Empirical Supports” respectively into “Applications” and “Limitations”, for there exist obvious overlap. Here are the two references that I think can help you to create the examples for “Theoretical Constructs” and can also offer you some ideas about scholars' evaluations of the model:

CCT Fall 2019 Editing by Fan
Hi, I'm a student at Georgetown University. I'm editing this wiki page for my Communication Theory class. I have done the following changes up till now:

1. changing the picture of the model;

2. using "HBM" whenever the model is mentioned after the first opening paragraph;

3. adding contents and sources for the history section;

4. supplying more academic examples for the part of theoretical constructs;

5. adding more empirical studies;

6. supporting more evidence to the limitation of the theory;

7. adding more internal links within Wikipedia.

It's a challengable and exciting experience to be a Wikipedian. Thanks for you guys to develop the same page from each corner of the world. Fanwang0912 (talk) 22:00, 19 November 2019 (UTC)
