Hey, Emily! Testing out the comment.(Wikisyzygy (talk) 16:39, 25 September 2012 (UTC))

Review for Nov. 13
Hi, Emily! Great job on your page so far! It looks like you've made some important changes. Particularly, I appreciated your moving the background/history to the top of the page, as well as your internal Wikipedia citation additions. It also looks like you've added some more references, which is great as the site looks as though it's a little low on those at the bottom of the page. In terms of things to keep working on:

I liked the idea that Professor Turner suggested of adding a "Communications" badge to the page. I understand that others might contest that it is not as heavily based in communications as it is in other disciplines (and there's already a "Sociology" badge, but it wouldn't hurt to demonstrate that it has some relation to the field.


 * It looks like there are a few stray spaces here and there... nothing that a quick once-over couldn't fix!


 * The images of text that are used in the "Basic Concepts" section are a little distracting. I understand that it's important to highlight these thoughts, but they stand out a little too much, I think.


 * Also in the "Basic Concepts" section, I noticed the use of the word "we" referencing us as humans. I don't know if this is appropriate or not, but it stood out to me as I didn't really see it elsewhere.


 * The "Two Major Parts" heading is a little ambiguous. I didn't really understand what parts you were referring to. Maybe instead of "parts," you could say "comparisons" or "notions" or whatever word you think best describes the section.


 * Finally, I'm sure this is in the works, but a "New Media" section would be great! Maybe thinking in terms of Social Exchange Theory as it relates to social networks/online friendships? The costs, rewards, and worth of interacting with or being friends with someone over Facebook...

Again, great work! Can't wait to see the finished product. Csmith22 (talk) 00:49, 13 November 2012 (UTC)

Great progress on your page, Emily! I can see that you've done a thorough job cleaning up links, references, numbering, etc. Given the amount of information on the page, the clear formatting and hyperlinks are very helpful! I agree with Cassidy that a more specific title for "Two Major Parts" would improve clarity on the page. There are a few additional small items I noticed:

• In the "Basic Concepts" section, "self interest" is linked twice in succession. You might consider removing one of the hyperlinks.

• Perhaps you could format all mentions of the theory so that the capitalization of the title (or lack of) are uniform. Right now I see "Social Echange Theory" and "social exchange theory".

• It may be unnecessary for the assumptions of the theory to be specified in both the "assumptions" and "basic principles" sections.

• I appreciate that you discuss the concept of reciprocity. Could you add a hyperlink the "reciprocity" wiki page?

Your content is very readable and clear, and as I mentioned before, I very much appreciate your formatting efforts. Keep up the good work!
