Hi! I'll look over your work and give you some feedback. Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 20:15, 20 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Miguel - my main notes are this:

Make sure that you're not repeating things that are already stated earlier in the article. By this I mean that you don't have to explain some of the more general details about digital rhetoric and can get down to the basic essentials of the section. A good way to make sure that the section is more direct and to the point is to summarize what you want to add in bullet points and then draft the paragraphs from that. Also, the work should have a global view as opposed to primarily or solely American or European.

The sourcing is good - just be careful of terms like 'essential' and make sure that you are't writing with a persuasive tone - that is, with the intent to convince the reader of a certain viewpoint. The content should be neutrally written and in a way that doesn't try to lead things in a particular direction.

I think that you're going in a good direction, this just needs some editing here and there. Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 20:45, 20 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
