NS1150 article selection[edit]

Hi Bottafranco, I am going to go ahead and assign you to edit the article for "Food processing". I am interested in what potential changes you think need to be made! Let me know if you have any questions. Saguaromelee (talk) 15:57, 26 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome![edit]

Hello, Bottafranco, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Ian and I work with the Wiki Education Foundation; I help support students who are editing as part of a class assignment.

I hope you enjoy editing here. If you haven't already done so, please check out the student training library, which introduces you to editing and Wikipedia's core principles. You may also want to check out the Teahouse, a community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to helping new users. Below are some resources to help you get started editing.

Feedback for annotated bibliography[edit]

Especially for an already contested article, I'd strongly encourage you to do more summary and evaluation of your sources beyond a brief sentence or two and whether or not it supports or refutes your point. Analyze the strengths and weaknesses of the evidence, and find and prioritize systematic reviews and meta-analyses (try searching a database like PubMed and use the article type filters). Makre sure to refer back to module 4 and also make sure to pay attention to correctly citing your sources. You may also find that you need to narrow your focus (processed food's impact on health is pretty broad). Let us know if you have questions!

These are good additional articles and I like that you've done some more analysis of strengths and weaknesses though be careful about the kinds of claims you make and that you're not overstating the articles' conclusions. Camand74 (talk) 16:03, 8 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
