hashtag activism
Content: There is a lot of content that can be updated since there's constantly new hashtags that are coming out. #MeToo is a big one that is not really mentioned but there are many more

hashtags that are not included. (See Talk:Hashtag activism)

Tone: The article includes sections for support as well as criticism on the topic, although there does seem to be a little bit of a bias toward the supporting side.

Sources: All the sources I checked are working. Majority of the sources are from news articles which are usually biased in a certain direction (whether explicit or not) but there are a few more data driven and scientific articles. The wiki page does use some of the biased points to highlight the arguments that support and critic the topic so it does seem appropriate and it is listed there.

Talk Page: A lot of the conversations are proposals to add new hashtags to the page. I looks like it is a part of the Wikiproject Internet Articles category.

Article Selection
Gender inequality

- In the talk pages there is a lot of complaints about the tone being largely focused on feminism as well as only mentioning women. The talk page also calls for more descriptions regarding other factors and other races.

- I would want to go through the article and balance out any super opinionated thoughts as well as include some more stats on the comparison between women and men regarding different factors like background and race.

Hashtag activism

- I mentioned this in my evaluation but I would like to add more updates on certain movements, for example adding the #Metoo hashtag. As well as some other new ones that have come up to make the article more encompassing.

Selected Article
We (the editorial board) will be working on the Hashtag Activism article.

What we want to add:

We will mainly be adding in new hashtags, summaries of them and links to the hashtags/articles that the other students are working on. We will also expand on the introduction section as well as the critiques and support section.

Sources:

- For the hashtags: we will use sources from the hashtags/articles we are referring to

#OscarsSoWhite

// this one would go under "Awareness"

Main article: 87th Academy Awards


 * 1) OscarSoWhite is a hashtag campaign started by BroadwayBlack.com managing editor April Reign and was sparked by the Oscars nominees in 2016. [1] Out of all the 20 actors nominated for lead and supporting actor categories all 20 were white, despite multiple films that year that had starred African American leads that had received critics' prizes and guild awards . The campaign sparked a conversation about diversity, representation, and racism in the film industry.

#NoBanNoWall

// this one would go under "Political"

Main article: Protests against Donald Trump


 * 1) NoBanNoWall is a hashtag and social media campaign created in response to Donald Trump's Muslim ban and 2016 presidential campaign promises to build a physical wall on the US-Mexico border [2]. In 2017, President Donald Trump issued multiple executive orders threatening to break up families and turn away refugees . Saki Barzinji and Imraan Siddiqi started #NoBanNoWall in an effort to rally Muslim, Latino, and other communities to stand up against xenophobic immigration policies.

@aileen make sure to cite sources for all the sentences not just the first 2. Also 'border wall' sounds kind of weird, you might want to rephrase that to something like 'initiative to build wall border US and Mexico.' Lulutao (talk) 05:53, 2 April 2019 (UTC)

#MarchforOurLives (under political)

The March for Our Lives protest began after the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting in Parkland, Florida on February 14, 2018.

The hashtag, indicative of the larger movement against gun violence, spread across social networks and went viral in early 2018.

Additionally, the movement organized walkouts in remembrance of the lives lost due to gun violence. In March 2018, hundreds of marches were organized across the country in support of stricter gun laws, many of which were met with resistance from anti-protesters. Since February 2018 there have been 123 laws passed nationwide at the state-level to address concerns of gun control.

On February 17, 2018 a facebook page was started by students to encourage their participation in the movement; and as of April 2019 the page has been liked by 286,560 individuals and has a following of 303,681.

 * 1) FakeNews (will go under "Awareness")

Main article: fake news

While "fake news" or politically-motivated disinformation (PMD) is not a new occurrence, the sentiment and spread of distrust of news coverage has became more notable since the 2016 U.S. elections cycle.[2] The hashtag, #FakeNews, gained major popularity in 2016 when Donald Trump claimed that the negative press coverage he received was in fact due to the spread of false stories.[1] Since the emergence of this hashtag, there has also been an increase in policy-related bills and laws regarding the proliferation of inaccurate information globally, this further politicized the issue and raised concerns of impending censorship.[3] The emergence of social media has allowed for "fake news" to spread much quicker than regular news and information, technology companies are now being pushed to take a more active role in detecting and removing "fake news".


 * 1) TakeAKnee (will go under "Human Rights")

Main article: Quarterback kneel


 * 1) TakeAknee has been a movement since 2016 and was created with the intention of calling attention to the police brutality and racial inequality in America.[4] This movement was enacted primary by NFL athletes, most notably Colin Kaepernick, through kneeling for the duration of the national anthem; this act has stirred significant controversy because it is interpreted by some as being a disrespectful act that insults the American flag, veterans and the values the flag represents. This led to #BoycottNFL and controversy that resulted in the NFL ban requiring players to stand for the national anthem.[5] [6] The National Anthem Protest Movement is often compared to protests during the civil rights era, lending to a chain of protests led by different athletes in different sports. The #TakeAKnee movement created controversy questioning the legal and constitutional rights of individuals and their ability to protest the U.S. National Anthem.

@Jeshua I think you might want to add so more sources to fake news and take a knee, because some of the sentences seem to be mainly opinion rather than fact so just make sure it's more neutral. Lulutao (talk) 05:48, 2 April 2019 (UTC)

#MeToo (additions to the original part on the current wiki, which we also created)

Main article: Me Too movement


 * 1) MeToo is a Twitter hashtag that raises awareness about sexual assault by encouraging survivors to share their stories .[49] The hashtag was initially first used in 2007 by Tarana Burke but was later popularized and brought to the attention of the media in October 15, 2017, when Alyssa Milano, using Twitter, encouraged individuals [50] to speak up about their experience with assault and say 'Me Too'. Initially meant to simply raise awareness but has become a movement and as of October 2018 it has been used 19 million times. [51] The movement has sparked many other movements like #HowIWillChange and has also led to certain punishments towards the perpetrators.
