Article evaluation
Intercultural communication

The article is well laid out, but has just a couple of issues. Examples of nonverbal cues are listed in the verbal communication section. To make improve the flow, it would make sense to move this down to the nonverbal communication section.

The cross cultural business studies section is broken into "management" and "facilitation" which doesn't really make sense. The author would either need to explain the naming of each sub-heading with a description, or get rid of them entirely as they do not enhance the article.

The article has a "problems" section that I am not sure is used effectively. While it remains neutral at most points, having a section titled "problems" is kind of casual and has a negative connotation. I would maybe rename this section "barriers to intercultural communication". The problem section also doesn't have any citations, which makes me question the validity.

The citations the article does include look great, and come from credible, scholarly journals. However, it seems like it could use a few more to really make the entire article educational and credible.

Article selection
The article I have chosen is Communication privacy management theory.

To edit this article, I will begin by expanding on the background of the theory. Currently, the background section is just one paragraph that contains only one cite. I think adding more to the history section will begin to frame the theory in a credible and informative way.

I will then add more content to the assumption section, by either creating an introduction to that idea, or individual descriptions of each assumption.

While the theory application section is good, I believe that is the most important part of this theory, and would love to expand on each of the sections, particularly the online social media section which seems to only focus on Twitter. I am sure that the rise of social media has really affected this theory, and I would love to expand on that idea.
