Prescriptive Beauty norm draft

Hi @Zoeba8: Good job starting on your article. I've looked it over and have some feedback so that you adhere to Wikipedia policy and the article can be ready for mainspace.

Inline Citations: Currently the article has no inline citations, which makes it difficult for readers to verify factual statements in your article. Every statement should be followed by a supporting citation; if a group of sentences are all supported by the same source, you can place a single reference after all of them, but you need to have at least one reference per paragraph, and you shouldn't have any statements after the final reference in a paragraph. If you need a refresher on how to add citations, please consult this training module.

Original research: You have to keep in mind, Wikipedia is not a place to publish your ideas or conclusions about a topic. That’s considered “original research,” and is not allowed on Wikipedia. This means your writing for Wikipedia will summarize what other people/sources have said about a topic, so that a Wikipedia reader can get an overview of the current thoughts and understanding of that topic. The goal is to provide in your own words a neutral, fact based summary Italic textof the topic at hand, not to persuade the readers to think one way or another. That brings everything back to inline citations. If the text that you've written cannot be verified in the reliable source you've provided then it does not belong in the article. Does that make sense?

Those are the main points I want to bring up for you to keep in mind as you write the article. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions. Brianda (Wiki Ed) (talk) 16:12, 29 March 2023 (UTC)

Peer Review Comment By: Jeffrey Camille

The article needs considerable work to produce a finalized draft containing an appropriate summary of the Prescriptive Beauty Norm (PBN), which abides by Wikipedia’s regulations and class instructions. The present strength of the article is that two sources (5 out of the 6 listed references are the same scholarly article) provide reliable information that can be used in the rendering of your summary. To improve this article, you will need to remove all hypotheses and stick with what the available data/research tells you about PBN. This involves widening your pool of sources, as you currently only have two. You will also want to be conscious of your language since the Wiki article is meant to be a space for summary and not for argumentative/persuasive writing. This involves making use of citations so that your reader knows where every claim is coming from. Also, be aware of how images are used, ensuring their inclusion is additive to your summary and not simply for display. Finally, I encourage you to consider which sections of those you currently have/don’t have listed are most pertinent to your article. Remember, your work is meant to be concise and not exhaustive. Overall, I would deem this article’s completeness level as underdeveloped. J.camSP23 (talk) 04:28, 12 April 2023 (UTC)

Prescriptive Beauty Norm moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Prescriptive Beauty Norm, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.
