"Evaluating Articles and Sources"

The article "Digital Writing and Research Lab" was fairly short. However, I did feel that a lot of the information was just kind of thrown in there with no real purpose and not a lot of sources. None of the sources were online, so I couldn't see if they were credible or not. It appeared to be a neutral article, until I realized they were talking about themselves. I did feel like they underrepresented the main topic of the article, and instead spent a lot of time on the first lab and how it came to be. They didn't go into much detail about how it spread to other schools. It is within WikiProjects United States.

Finding your article:

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Shitposting This article doesn't have much information and it has a lot of references for very little information, so I would try to add more to it and maybe take some of the repeating references out.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black-eyed_children In the talk page of this article, there was a lot of arguing about where this legend originated so I would like to clear that up and hopefully add some more information about it since there isn't a lot to begin with.

Shitposting:

As someone pointed out in the talk page, I would like to talk about the numerous pages and groups that are literally dedicated to shitposting on social media. I would also like to delve a little more into where it came from more specifically what it is and what it is used for.

• Either one of these would be fine! Shitposting does indeed seem like a pretty well-reported Internet phenomenon. A Google News search turns up a lot of recent articles, and responding to the talk page discussion of pages/groups dedicated to it on social media sounds like a good plan. In either case, I would want you to add at least two major sections to the article. Elizabeth.f.chamberlain (talk) 17:49, 19 April 2018 (UTC)

Editing:

Shitposting is defined as a worthless post on a message board or discussion platform. It is often used to derail the conversation being held.

Uses:

Shitposting is often made into communities of people, such as Facebook groups. They sometimes are made to just be enjoyed by a group of people so that they can post memes that can be seen as funny by everyone. Other times, shitposting is used to derail important conversations being held on discussion platforms.
