Hi!

Hello! You've got some good ideas for topics but your links don't seem to work correctly. Check out this video for more information on how to properly link within Wikipedia (also some neat stuff on basic formatting)

Your contributed article, Media and the Thin Ideal

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

Hello, I notice that you recently created a new page, Media and the Thin Ideal. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as yourself. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page - The Thin Ideal. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at The Thin Ideal - you might like to discuss new information at the article's talk page.

If you think that the article you created should remain separate, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. Yunshui 雲‍水 09:14, 16 March 2012 (UTC)

Peer Review

Hi! So I read over what you have done, and I think it's a good start. First, a few minor corrections: should the "Stice et al" be in there or should that be cited? I'm not sure. Also, take the "s" off of "disorders" and add an "s" to population. Sorry if that's confusing. As far as the piece of the article you have to far, I just wanted to clarify a few things. What is the point that you're trying to make about the thin ideal in the media? Does the media directly effect women when it comes to being ideally thin? Think about all different types of media and perhaps the image that Hollywood produces, specifically in movies. If I were you, I would perhaps talk about the image TV shows give women, as well as fashion shows that are shown annually. Who decides who has the "perfect" body? Think magazine ads, not just the pictures but the words as well. If you give more concrete examples, I think you'll be able to come up with a lot more information for your part of this article. It's kind of a small article already so once you go a little more in depth about what you want to say I think it'll come out really nicely. Sorry if any of this is confusing/ you don't know what I mean/ I completely missed your point. See you in class! Jcidado (talk) 18:49, 29 March 2012 (UTC)
