Week 2
Article Evaluation

The article I chose to evaluate is Digital Fashion as it relates to my topic of Fashion and Technology. I think every section of the article is relevant to the topic. It talks about the different levels of Digital Fashion and also provides an overview of the industry and the new trends and services available to the consumers. However, I thought the last section was a little bit distracting given that it talks about Education and Research in the industry, mentioning the courses available to the people and research activities done in this field. This does not contribute much to the main topic as it doesn’t talk directly about what digital fashion is. I see it more as an additional section the author wrote to give us an overview of the ongoing research in the industry. The article is neutral as it provides an informational overview of the different digital channels available in the industry in an unbiased manner. The author did not share his point of view about the topic but rather educated us readers in a general way. Most of the reference links work but some are a bit outdated from 2008-2011. I think the author should update the information with more recent sources as technology has evolved a lot these past years, as this article might be missing relevant and current information. Also, it should include scholar sources as they are more trustworthy. A few links result in error and others do not have the actual cite written in Wikipedia. The websites look reliable, however must of the references are from news magazines. I consider them to be neutral as it is informational rather than opinionated. There are no conversations on the talk page of this article. It is not part of a WikiProject and does not has a rating.

Week 3
For week's 3 assignment, I added a cite from the Engadget website to the 3D Printing https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3D_printing Wikipedia article to add more information of how 3D printing has been incorporated in the Fashion Industry.

Vanessa Friedman, fashion director and chief fashion critic at The New York Times, says 3D printing will have a significant value for fashion companies down the road, especially if it transforms into a print-it-yourself tool for shoppers. "There's real sense that this is not going to happen anytime soon," she says, "but it will happen, and it will create dramatic change in how we think both about intellectual property and how things are in the supply chain." She adds: "Certainly some of the fabrications that brands can use will be dramatically changed by technology."

Week 4
These are some of the articles I am interested in improving/creating for the Wikipedia Article assignment.

Advanced Fashion Design and Technology https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Fashion_Design_and_Technology

This WP does not provide much information about fashion and technology. I think the information is incomplete and disorganized. Therefore, I would like to expand more on this topic by adding more information on the newest technologies that have integrated to the fashion industry, the different techniques designers are using through technology and also expand more on the functions presented. Additionally, I would like to remove or change some of the current information of the article as I think it is out of topic. A user made a comment on the talk page about modifying an external link but no one has mentioned anything about the information on the article.

Digital Fashion https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_fashion

This WP article is very short and basic. So, I would like to expand more on the topic by doing some research about digital fashion. I think I could add more information on how technology and the internet has impacted the fashion industry. It has not only impacted the production process and creations of new designs through technology, but also its operations and how the internet has changed the relationship between the brands and the customers. No one has currently mention anything on the talk page.

Fashionable Technology (New Article) similar article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wearable_technology

I would like to write a new article about fashionable technology which refers to wearables in the fashion industry. There is currently an article about wearable technology and it mentions its use in the fashion industry but the information is very basic. Therefore, I would like to write a WP article exclusively about wearables in the fashion industry and mention the different types of wearables created by fashion designers, how it was introduced to the fashion industry and how it has shaped it. Some people has commented on the talk page of the wearable technology article but nothing relates to fashion.

Week 5
For my unit 2 assignment, I have decided to create a new WP article called Fashionable Technology. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fashionable_Technology

To create the new article, I would like to talk about the following information:
 * Wearables in the fashion industry
 * History of wearables and how it was introduced to the fashion industry
 * The methods and techniques of wearables created by fashion designers
 * Its impact on the Fashion Industry
