Hi Farhad! I hope your Wikipedia Page turns out great! Ae482 (talk) 17:00, 7 October 2014 (UTC)
Hello Farhad, I have some comments for your page: -as you pointed out, “assumptions” and “criticism” sections are insufficient. Both parts really need to be added more. -linking “Self disclosure theory” to the page is really good idea, because although it seems to be similar to social penetration theory, two are different. -applications are slanted on computer-mediated communication(CMC) issues: I think social penetration theory is really useful to apply to various situations from interpersonal communication to organizational communication (maybe..). -the number of references are not enough; more references are necessary to make the page more strong. -how about adding some video clips showing development of personal relationship?

Hi Farhad,
Thank you for your contribution to the Social Penetration Page. I think that the page is quite well structured. However, I think some work could still be done to improve it.
Some things that I have noticed are: (1) the page lacks citation. Some sections (e.g. Social Networking, Criticism, Social Exchange Theory and SPT Framework) are almost completely un-cited and/or not properly cited; (2) in the section ‘Extensive research and Applications’, the sub-section ‘ Organizational Communication’ is not as developed as the others. Perhaps some work could be done to improve it; (3) there is some research done that looks at privacy concerns and disclosures of personal information in the ‘digital’ era/world. I think it is worth having a look at how this research may overlaps with Social Penetration Theory. These are some example: (1) Rouvroy, Antoniette. Privacy, Data Protection, and the Unprecedented Challenges of Ambient Intelligence, Studies in Ethics, Law, and Technology; (2) Peppet, Scott R. Unravelling Privacy: The Personal Prospectus and The Threat of a Full Disclosure Future, Northwestern University Law Review; (3) Ohm, Paul. Broken Promises of Privacy: Responding to the Surprising Failure of Anonymization, UCLA Law Review. Fabrizio Drago (talk) 13:01, 28 October 2014 (UTC)
