Hashtag Activism
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Hashtag_activism#Article_Evaluation
 * A quick scan of this article showed me that there are proofreading mistakes, which can be found beside the section ‘Notable examples’ with the ‘[edit]’ right beside it, text styling errors, multiple grammatical errors throughout, as well as odd sentence flows. Upon actually taking the time to read, I noticed a few more things that I would like to mention in order.
 * In the first sentence alone in the introduction, there were four citations that I think could have been used in a much better way. These four articles cited cover different critiques and viewpoints, which were no longer used again in the rest of the article, but instead were only linked to a basic definition of what hashtag activism is. Therefore, more than it just being an over-citation, I feel that these sources weren’t utilized well.
 * Moreover, in the first paragraph, the tone of the sentence sounds not very neutral, but rather with the straight up assumption that hashtag activism promises a positive result. Although in the end of the introduction, there was a sentence regarding the critics’ point of view, much of it is very biased towards the positive effects of hashtag activism. But this can be backed up by the argument that there is another section solely dedicated to its criticism. However, following that is an even longer section on ‘support’.
 * In the breakdown of notable examples of hashtag activism, the subsection on #HimToo is underrepresented with only one sentence to describe the social media campaign, while the others are given a whole paragraph. On the other hand, #PrayforParis and the #icebucketchallenge were overrepresented.
 * As for the citations, there are multiple missing/empty ones. Moreover, rather than scholarly articles, a notable amount comes from news articles/op-eds, which do not guarantee factual information, nor were any biases noted for information that came from such sources.
 * In the Talk page of the article, as one would expect, majority is about updating the page with more recent hashtags as a lot of the newer ones have not been covered, such as #MeToo.
 * This article has not received ratings on either the project’s quality or importance scale, but is within the WikiProject Internet.

Hashtag Activism, Me Too movement, SayHerName

 * For all the reasons stated above, I want to make a lot of changes to the hashtag activism page that leads to the next two articles that I would possibly want to make changes to as well. Unfortunately, upon scanning and evaluating both articles on the me too movement and sayhername, editorial mistakes such as spelling errors, grammatical errors, and so on can be found as well. Most importantly, you can sense a lot of bias just like with the hashtag activism page. For all these three pages, I want to better present the information, in a way that looks more credible by fixing the obvious mistakes, and most importantly, the tone, to better represent all views.
