Wikipedia Article Examination
The wiki article entitled Facebook like button has multiple problems. The last time it was updated was in May 2017. Facebook regularly changes and adapts their social media site, so this outdated wiki article doesn't keep up with the latest additions and alterations for the Facebook like button. Facebook has changed and this article seems to skip over many changes, and is not currently the most up to date resource. The article mentions the new emotion/reaction options in addition to liking a post or comment, but shows no pictures or examples of these reactions.

The opening paragraphs are not categorized under anything on the side bar, and in my opinion, there is too much relevant information all mixed up in two, long, disorganized paragraphs. This made it distracting and difficult to comprehend quickly.

I think that the article focus is unequal in weight. It focuses heavily on critics following the Facebook like button, but doesn't describe it's origin, popularity, and impact on the Facebook site, it's advertisements, etc. This leads me to feel like the article is a little biased against the new like button.

The source links within the article all work, however some seem a little bit irrelevant to the topic and could be left out entirely. More positively, almost all facts are backed up with references. The legitimacy of these references is questionable since most are small, news articles found online and not based on published journals or anything necessarily fact checkable and undoubtedly reliable.

The Talk page of the article speaks mostly about new references and sources that have been added and would like to be fact checked. It also poses the question of how the like button impacts Facebook financially, and since this is such a big reason there are like buttons, why that information is left out of the article.

The article is a part of many WikiProjects like WikiProject Internet, WikiProject Internet culture, WikiProject Media, WikiProject Marketing and Advertising, WikiProject Websites/Computing. The article is rated Start-class, and generally of mid-importance.

Final Wikipedia Article Topic
Advertising to Children

Advertising to children

I chose this article because it is very disorganized and is too wordy and drawn out in many places. This is especially apparent in the first opening section of the article that is drawn out and could be reorganized to different ares of the bigger article. So I will reorganize and rearrange much of the information to make it more readable. The last edit and addition to the article was in 2016, and as Advertising, especially geared towards children, is very apparent and ever changing, lots of studies and publications aregoing on in this field nowadays. So, I have found more information and sources to add to the article.

Some possible sources I might use:
