General reminder to avoid making value judgements, e.g. about how things should be, unless you make it clear that it is not your own view or an indisputable fact, but the view of a particular scholar, or one possible interpretation out of many others.Vkwzw (discuss • contribs) 14:30, 3 November 2020 (UTC)

The section on "The flexibility of evidence in advertising" is very interesting and well written, however the references are only links, so maybe you could develop a little bit more your references! Mouxy73 (discuss • contribs) 11:15, 24 October 2020 (UTC)

I find the part about "The flexibility of evidence in advertising" really interesting as well, but maybe it also needs a more general explanation since the topic indicated in the title is advertising. Majb324 (discuss • contribs) 23:09, 25 October 2020 (UTC) I have added in a brief introduction which may need revisiting, do you think it needs justification of advertising as a discipline?Zvxz (discuss • contribs) 18:33, 26 October 2020 (UTC)

Maybe you could add one, so your text about the discipline of advertsing could be clearer :). Majb324 (discuss • contribs) 13:13, 27 October 2020 (UTC)

The text on False Balance is very interesting (I had never heard of that concept), and I thought it would also be interesting to apply it to other issues, such as COVID or evolutionism for instance. When it comes to COVID-19, the media has sometimes tried to create a false balance between preserving the economy and preserving the population's health, or between a return to 'normalcy' and a lockdown. As for evolutionism, mostly Republicans in the US have encouraged the presentation of evolutionism and creationism as theories with equal validity, whether in schools or in the media.


 * I really like that! Feel free to add these points to the section if you want, if not, I'll try to do some research and add them myself.Vkwzw (discuss • contribs) 14:03, 3 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Added a section about the pandemic now, thank you for the suggestion!Vkwzw (discuss • contribs) 15:48, 10 November 2020 (UTC)

In your introduction to 'Evidence in Urban Planning', I believe that you could make your analysis more powerful by explicitly labelling the different sources that the bus stop location examines as evidence. purplerain24 (discuss • contribs) 16:41 9th of November 2020 (UTC)== Possible improvement in the referencing ==

While the part on ‘The role of the evidence in archeology’ is excellent, I think it requires some attention to the reference section. As mentioned in the training, using Wikipedia for the research is extremely useful, however citing it is not always the best idea. It is worth checking the references at the bottom of the Wikipedia article that you want to cite. There is a great chance that you will find there a more reliable source that is written by an expert. Hopefully it helps--Hot Steams 417 (discuss • contribs) 18:37, 26 October 2020 (UTC) Thank you for your contribution I will try to reference my section better!

The section on 'Evidence in social anthropology' is very interesting and nicely written but I think the referencing needs improvement as it's fairly sparse.Jigamaree (discuss • contribs) 18:00, 28 October 2020 (UTC)

In 'Evidence in Aggression,' the section on social or cultural reinforcement of aggressive behaviour could be tied to the notion of 'culture of honor,' described as 'a social norm that condones and even encourages responding to insults with aggression' by Charles Stagnor in the book 'Principles of Social Psychology-1st International Edition' (adapted by Rajiv Jhangiani and Hammond Tarry.) You could consider incorporating this concept into your section 'Social Psychology Evidence,' if you wish to. --Banksy2020 (discuss • contribs) 19:41, 9 November 2020 (UTC) https://opentextbc.ca/socialpsychology/chapter/personal-and-cultural-influences-on-aggression/
