Welcome![edit]

Hello, Skrtberry, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Ian and I work with Wiki Education; 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.

Peer Review Notes, March 29[edit]

Hi! First of all, I think you chose a really relevant page to edit, despite it having so little content so far. It seems like a great opportunity to expand a page and flesh out the descriptions and explanations of the topic and its impact. Your planned approach, which to my understanding will address the sensationalization of scientific information by both journalists and the scientists themselves, seems conceptually strong to me. The ramifications of sensationalization at every level are undoubtedly significant and you have the potential to add a lot of detail here, so my suggestion to make the editing process a little bit easier is to break it down into sections. You could discuss notably misleading cases, how different players like scientists, publishers, and news media contribute, as well as create a section to explain the consequences, broken down by the impact on future research, funding, and the quality of science writing. Of course, these are just some examples that I thought might be helpful or give you other ideas. I think you already have a clear view for this page, which is great. Good luck with your edits! --Buzz810 (talk) 16:27, 29 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
