Feedback request
HI Belinrahs. I think your draft looks like it's off to a good start. Of course, the older material lacks sources almost entirely, which is a major concern.

With regards to your addition on privacy, I wouldn't start with "Researchers have noted..." I think a lot more has been written about this topic by privacy advocates and I would open with the concerns that they have expressed. Then I would follow up with the stuff about research - that academics have supported what activists have complained about. If you do that you make it more well-rounded; you start with the people who have (AFAIK) dominated the conversation. You also make it more interesting - "researchers have noted" just isn't the kind of wording that draws readers in. Does that make sense? Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 16:34, 11 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Ian, you are absolutely correct. The reason for this is that I have only been able to use academic journal articles. Our professor in class has only told us to use academic articles as sources for our Wikipedia articles. As a long-time Wikipedia editor, I know that far more than just academic articles are allowable as reliable sources - but I don't want to be that guy in that class that corrects the professor. You may want to let our professor know more about what kinds of sources we can use for our articles - it would make my writing far easier, since academic articles only go so far...

 * We do strongly encourage classes to use academic journals, and sometimes that probably comes across as only using them. Thanks for the heads up. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 14:28, 13 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Hey, I seem to have missed a feedback request from you a couple days ago. Is there something I can help you with? Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 17:06, 27 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Hey Ian! I moved our draft to the mainspace Image sharing article; just wondered if you could look it over and see if we missed anything/make suggestions for small improvements that can be made. We didn't add to the history section, as we didn't feel there were enough reliable sources we could use to expand it. Thanks! [Belinrahs|talktome⁄ ididit] 06:17, 30 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Looks good! Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 15:01, 31 October 2016 (UTC)
