The article that my partner and I are evaluating deals with self destructive behavior and there is a lot of changes that could be made. Starting with adding more content to the article, I feel that it doesn't give enough information about it. Another thing that I noticed is that throughout the article it uses "self destructive behavior" a lot. I know that is what the article is about, but it seems less professional when it overuses those words. Also, There are a lot of opinion based sentences throughout the article that need to be changed in my opinion.~ Ruddock, Vilma. “What Is Self Destructive Behavior?” LoveToKnow, LoveToKnow Corp, addiction.lovetoknow.com/other-addictions/what-is-self-destructive-behavior.

As I look at the Self-Destructive Behavior Page I see there isn't a lot written in the causes section, so one thing I would like to do is take a deeper look into the causes and see if I can further elaborate on that. If possible even, I would like to dig into different types of self-destructive behavior and further elaborate on eating disorders or substance abuse. Finally, I would like to go into further depth to describe self-destructive behavior. There isn't a lot of current information on it, so I hope I can find reliable information.

'On the Talk Page

It was brought up how someone recommends that we should explain how self-destructive behavior can intentionally ruin one's life in some way or form. I don't know if I agree with this, a person with a bad personal experience with one who has a self-destructive behavior could have misunderstood the concept.

'''Is the article's content relevant to the topic? Are some areas under- or over-developed?'''

What I've read so far, all of the content is related to the topic. Most areas are underdeveloped.

Is it written neutrally?

Yes, this article is written neutrally. However, in the talk page it wasn't

'''Does each claim have a citation? Are the citations reliable?'''

No, none of the forms have a citation. The 5 citations I see are reliable.
