Community Generated Media (CGM)
User-generated content is often called/referred as community generated media (or CGM for short) and prosumers (Alvin Toffler), so I think it needs to be added somewhere on the page. Also because there are pages on Wikipedia that uses the term "community generated media" but then links to here, because this has nearly the same defenition, so it can cause some confusion.

I have observed incidents that supported the arrival of "citizen journalist" under the "Adoption and recognition by mass media" section has not been citited with required supporting information. I would like to add to the existing content as below, suggested content is in italic - The BBC set up a user generated content team as a pilot in April 2005 with 3 staff. In the wake of the 7 July 2005 London bombings and the Buncefield oil depot fire, the team was made permanent and was expanded, reflecting the arrival in the mainstream of the citizen journalist.It has been noted that the photos and videos captured by the passengers were the only pictures found during the London Underground bombing in 2005. After the Buncefield disaster the BBC received over 5,000 photos from viewers. The BBC does not normally pay for content generated by its viewers.

Adoption and recognition by mass media
I did some research to seek a few articles and sources that can support the statement about 2005 London bombings and the Buncefield oil depot fire, by which user generated content and citizens journalist expansion took place, which was provided in "Adoption and recognition by mass media" under "User generated content" page. The user generated content team was just a few in number but after the huge disaster in London in 2005 made the number go big. Now, the number of people in a user generated content team is a lot more than what it was before 2005 London bombings. There are many articles stated that citizens (the public) took the pictures and the videos at the incident and transferred them to their families, friends, social networking sites, and news channels such as BBC. The content (pictures and videos) generated is user generated content by definition. It is actually the work of the journalist to do reporting but since the citizens took the initiative, it is called citizen journalism. The London incident best proves the arrival and improvement of the citizen journalist. The last two references are the citations from the good articles and journals that support the incidents took place at the London bombing and Buncefield oil depot fire which there by led to the expansion of user generated content and citizen journalist (journalism).

General Requirements citations:
I did some research to find the citation for the below quoted sentence under the general requirements section: "The advent of user-generated content marked a shift among media organizations from creating online content to providing facilities for amateurs to publish their own content."

Suggesting Citations...
Hello Editor,

Myself Rahul Jakkam Chandrashekar doing my Masters in IT at LTU. As a part of my school assignments I am improving Wikipedia articles. I came across this article and felt like adding few more citations to improve the redability of User Generated Contents.

Content chosen for citation: Long before the Web, creative works were simply lost or went out of publication and disappeared from history unless individuals found ways to keep them in personal collections.[citation needed] The above sentence needs citation:

Suggested Citation:

http://www.enggjournals.com/ijcse/doc/IJCSE10-02-06-97.pdf

The journal clearly adds value to the sentence mentioned in wikipedia article. Can you please review it and give me some suggestions. Thanks, Rahul JC. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rahuljc (talk • contribs) 19:55, 19 September 2016 (UTC)

Citation Improvement
I'm working on Wikipedia to enhance existing articles that have issues as part of my course requirement. I've found this page with some minor issues that could be improved by adding citation and references. I see that the criticism of "user generated content" on privacy has not been supported with any reliable resources article. I would like to suggest the following conference journal which has an extensive supporting on this issue. This journal demonstrates a number of surveys and case studies carried out on why privacy has been a concern on user generated content. https://www.ifi.uzh.ch/dam/jcr:ffffffff-c29f-36ac-0000-000031153409/perdis2015-CR-01.pdf Asmat (talk) 01:46, 23 September 2016 (UTC)
