What makes a quality article?
The best articles share certain qualities, which can serve as a model for you to strive for in your own work:


 * Detailed lead section: the overview at the start of the article is clear and easy to understand.
 * Clear structure: there are several headings and subheadings arranged chronologically or by themes, with images or diagrams when appropriate.
 * Balanced content: the article covers many aspects of the topic, giving more weight to important viewpoints and less weight to fringe ideas.
 * Neutral tone: the article is written without bias toward a particular point of view, and represents all the different viewpoints that reliable sources have expressed about the topic.
 * Good sourcing: reliable sources are cited throughout the article and as much as possible.

Friending and Following
I chose the article Friending and Following because of my interest and daily use of social media. This article was rated as a start class on the quality scale, meaning there is a lot of opportunity to add more to it. I began by reading the article and deciding what areas it could use more content. First, I would like to add two sources to the article. I’d like to touch on the effects of social media followers and friends. This will help provide different views of having a large following.

What is collecting?

Friend collecting is when someone adds hundreds or thousands of friends/followers.

Users may also create multiple accounts based on their interests. Someone with a personal social media account might be a photographer and they have a separate account for that.

There is risk when you continue to follow large amounts of people. Scholars say that social anxiety could could be an effect of managing a large social media network. This is because users can feel jealous and have the "fear of missing out".

Unfriending and unfollowinig
Unfriending is the act of removing someone from your friends list. On Facebook, this means the action is unilateral, meaning, the friendship is terminated on both sides. The act of unfriending is often used when one user was flirting and made the other uncomfortable.

Unfollowing is a little different. When a user unfollows someone on Instagram or Twitter it continues a one-sided relationship. Often the unfollowed user doesn't realize they were unfollowed so they continue the following.
