Good luck in your wiki page project Dk802 (talk) 16:59, 7 October 2014 (UTC)

Hi Alvaro, your article is looking good. I'm a little confused whether MRT is supposed to be predictive or evaluative. For example, do communicators naturally trend toward the medium of appropriate richness, or do they think about the media available and determine which one is best based on its richness? It seems like MRT is supposed to be predictive, and the criticisms say that it overlooks evaluative uses, but clarification would be helpful. I also found the "Extended Application in New Media" section to be a little weird or misplaced. They feel like extensions or examples of the theory, which aren't bad, but as the only ones they could be in their own section or otherwise supported.

I know it's not terribly helpful for me to say that it already looks good. The length feels right, it flows well, and hits the main points. As someone who has spent no more than 90 minutes thinking about the theory, I might not be qualified to say that the content is good, but I feel like I understand MRT through the article.

Page review by Zhili: Alvaro - I think structure-wise this page is good, it has covered many aspects related to the theory. I felt like you could concentrate on improving the content, maybe digging deeper on some existing points and adding more findings from literatures that you come across. Below are a few I suggestions I have in mind: 1. "Application" section: I agree with you that this section is kind of short. Media richness theory is a very practical theory, it will help the viewers to relate to the theory if more examples/applications/relevant theories were added to the page.

2."Theory" section: The first sentence "information richness is defined by…" is a paragraph itself, it seems kind strange to have it stand alone like that. Perhaps you could find a place for it in the below paragraph?

3. If you remember my presentation of "social information processing theory", Prof.Turner asked me question about the distinction between SIP and media richness theory. I think that distinction is very interesting and important. It will be quite helpful if you could possibly add a section to this page that covers brief comparison between media richness theory and other major relevant theories. That's just a personal thought I have in my mind! Good luck! --Zl116 (talk) 02:38, 30 October 2014 (UTC)
