Article Evaluation
I chose to evaluate an article titled “Social media in the fashion industry.”

I did not notice something major in the article that distracted me from the topic. I appreciated how the article outlines different social media platforms that the fashion industry uses. Towards the end, I also really appreciated the list of brands and details of their involvement with social media.

I checked a few links and they worked. However, there is one link that directs me to a ProQuest site, and I need to have an account to view the page. I don’t think this link should be used because it’s not a source that is easily accessible for people to verify information from the article. In addition, I checked another link and it did not directly lead to a source. I don’t think this link is credible either, since users will need to hunt for evidence for the information that is presented in the article.

I think the article is biased because citations are used from articles with titles such as “Climbing: Luxury Fashion Brands Must Embrace Social Media” and “How the Fashion INdustry is Embracing Social Media.” Since these articles clearly have a bias towards the positive effect of social media in the title, I think it influences the article as a whole.

I checked out the Talk pages and saw that in January 2020, a user recommended incorporating a better photo for the article, which I wholeheartedly agree with.

The article is a part of WikiProject Fashionshow (Mid-Importance), WikiProject Internet (Low-importance), WikiProject Marketing & Advertising (Mid-importance).

All in all, I think this article’s topic is very interesting, yet there is a lot of content to expand on and improve.
