comments on sandbox about spreadability

Hi Morgan, it's a pity that I can't be in your class on Friday. But please let me give a few general remarks about what you've done in your sandbox until now:

• This really looks very good, already. It's well written, good structured. And I'm getting curious to the parts that you're still working on. You have ambitious plans.
• The most common practice on Wikipedia is to start the article with a kind of definition, in one or two lines (if possible in your own words). And then give the “historic” context: so when was the concept coined etc. Could you perhaps rearrange the first paragraph a bit in this sense?
• I can't find a reference to Jenkins 1992 and to Jordan 2015, who you mention in the first paragraph. I suppose it's this Henry Jenkins. So link him! Same for Tim_Jordan_(sociologist). This makes the article a much better starting point for future scholarly research.
• And in general: add more wiki-links in your text. For instance to Web 2.0, Participatory_culture, and so on, and so on.
• Don't you think it a good idea to make some external links in a separate paragraph at the end, for instance to [1], and sites like that?
• Finally, you may already start with “linking back” from other articles on Wikipedia to your article, for instance in the article about Jenkins. Add a small text here in which you point to the concept of spreadability, and make a link already.

Hi,

I have moved the text in the sandbox (after some editing) into the main namespace: Spreadability. Greetings, --Dick Bos (talk) 10:53, 13 September 2016 (UTC)
