User:Morgan Kennon/Hurtful communication

1. First, what does the article do well? Is there anything from your review that impressed you? Any turn of phrase that described the subject in a clear way?

Your article does well at describing and defining “hurtful” communications. It follows the formula for layout and content for a wiki article. I was pleased by the number of resources that you used and your honesty in the critique section on the limitations in the research surrounding this topic. The area that stood out to me was your section on the health hazards associated with this issue, it would be interesting to know more about that.

2. What changes would you suggest the author apply to the article? Why would those changes be an improvement?

I am not sure if it were covered in your research, but I would image there is some work on hurtful language in the medium of social media. Although you do not mention because as you put it, this happens in more intimate relationships. I could only imagen the trolling and hurtful speech that is exchanged in comments sections on a YouTube, or Facebook, but I would think that although not face to face it could also be harmful emotionally to the person on the receiving end. You could also maybe expend on the intent of the message versus the perception of that same message by both parties.

3. What's the most important thing the author could do to improve the article?

Like I stated above, I think the use of hurtful communication as it relates to social media could be interesting. I know that you discuss the lack of research on the subject in your Critique section, but if there was any further research on the subject could be also helpful.

4. You also need to find at least one additional scholarly source for your classmate to consider incorporating into their article.

Here is a source for information on hurtful communication that happens by social media. I found several but this one seems credible.
