Article Selection:

Dracula tourism

Strategic media

Ironism

-

Strategic media contains no references or comments in the Talk page, Dracula tourism contains two references and a few messages in the Talk page, and Ironism has some references and sources, and discussions in the Talk page from 2010.

Trying to find information about strategic media felt practically impossible, as everything I found on Google was ads for businesses to use strategic media rather than the opposition. I attempted to reword my search but I remained unsuccessful.

The writer of Dracula tourism argued in the talk section that the article should not be considered a stub in 2014, but there was a response saying it could be expanded if someone chose to.

Ironism is a concept that I'm still having a difficult time finding a well specified answer (as to the belief) searching on the internet, so this is also not my first choice.

As for the quality of the articles-

Strategic media lacks any references so I'm unable to tell if the writing is biased, or even completely biased. With the difficulty of finding any reliable information, and the article already having no sources, this article needs a lot of work. Another reason why this article would be difficult for me to edit is my personal bias, as I'm strongly against strategic media, or the level to which strategic media continues to develop and strengthen over time. The article is so short there isn't very much chance for bias, though the last sentence gives a large statement without any sources to back it up.

Dracula tourism has references, one being a website (that works) with information about Romanian culture and tourism. The website gives good information for the locations, which is the majority of the article. The second reference is to a journal which I was able to find information about, but unable to read online, so I am unable to see the reliability of the text and where the source was referenced in the article. No citations were added.

Ironism had a decent amount of references compared to the length of the article. One of the references went to a 404, and the rest of the sources were from books (as this will likely not be my choice article, I'm not going to purchase the books to see the content and how they were referenced in the article) The only source I was able to preview was the second source, which linked me to the specific pages referenced in the article. I saw that the article cited it well and didn't plagiarize in any form, though other portions of the article could contain plagiarism, such as in the final sentence, as it may be a direct quote from its source without quoting it the specific way Wikipedia requires.

I'm going with Dracula tourism for this assignment, instead of hysteroid dysphoria as students cannot edit psychology articles..

Dracula tourism draft-

Government attitude
Although Dracula tourism is a popular attraction in Romania, government leaders prefer other attractions within the country to be Romania's image. The National Tourism Masterplan restricted any Dracula theme parks from 2007 to 2026 to be initiated. Romania's government views Dracula tourism as a false image of Romania, as Dracula was from a story of fiction rather than a piece of Romanian history. Despite this, Dracula tourism has made an impact on the country's economy in the past and currently there are multiple attractions within the country.

Dracula Park
Dracula Park was a theme park proposition by Radu Florescu in 1995. The idea was to attract tourists worldwide and bring a larger audience to Romania and its identity with the fictional Transylvanian vampire.

The theme park idea was rejected until 2001, six years after the initial proposal.

Dracula Park gained widespread attention in its development. There was controversy on the theme park and if it would be harmful to Romania's image, and the Dracula Park project was dropped.
