Feedback on your article
Hello Svolkenand, Thank you for writing your article in your sandbox! I have read the article and would like to give some feedback to improve your article to Wikipedia standards and customs. While your tutor will judge it content wise, I will look if it meets the quality standards we have on Wikipedia. I standard look for a series of subjects that need improvement or are okay. I hope you can implement this feedback to your sandbox article before our next meeting. Thanks! Romaine (talk) 15:14, 28 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Intro sentence: Please check more existing Wikipedia articles, we make the subject in the first sentence bold. If there is an abbreviation, you do not need to mention "short:" as people would understand that an abbreviation is short. Is it really the case that user generated content only can be found online? I doubt it.
 * Links: almost sufficient, please link a few more keywords.
 * Headers: Why so long: "Forms of user-generated content"? I think just "Forms" would say exactly the same. I think "UGC as strategic marketing tool" can be shorter with just "Marketing tool".
 * References: "User-generated content can be seen as part of the Web 2.0 and participatory culture." -> please provide source (reference)! "All forms of fanart, fan fiction and contributions in online fan forums can also be considered as user-generated content." -> please provide source for this claim.
 * Other: Please add under the header "References" the following: For the rest I think it is a balanced article
 * Ready to publish: because your article is about user-generated content, and the article User-generated content already exists in Wikipedia, your article can't be published as we only have one article for a single subject. But I would recommend you to look for parts that can be copied from your article to the existing article. This I think you can to at the end of the coming session.


 * Hello Svolkenand, Thank you for making all the improvements!
 * Intro sentence: okay, but my earlier question remains.
 * Links: okay, besides one keyword that needs a link too: "Wikipedia" (paragraph 3).
 * Headers: Use less capitalised characters, usually we only make the first character of a header capitalised, unless it is a given name.
 * References: In the first paragraph, the last sentence needs a reference because it is a some kind of claim. For the rest I see sufficient references. I also see that some references are used more than once. Those should be merged to one, see for instructions on the project page. As example I changed reference number 3 already for you, see the difference [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User%3ASvolkenand%2Fsandbox&type=revision&diff=754309292&oldid=754251177 here].
