Article Selection[edit]

Please list articles that you're considering for your Wikipedia assignment below. Begin to critique these articles and find relevant sources.

Option 1[edit]

Internet addiction disorder
The article contains sufficient amount of information relevant to the topic. However, it does need more medical references. I believe this article is of an interest of the general public and the topic has been identified as a public health crisis. It is written with the intention to inform and make the public aware. The article has several citations with a few missing links. The citations seem to point to the right source.

Option 2[edit]

Social media in education
The article is easy to read and understand. Has a table of contents. Has may article citations written on the subject. However, I believe it needs more data on studies related to the use of social media in education. It is also missing some citations links. The citations included seem to point to the right source. The article looks well structured.
