Qhdud12 (talk) 01:15, 15 November 2018 (UTC) Article Evaluation - Korean beauty standards

The link to an article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Korean_beauty_standards

Content - I believe most of the contents were related to the article topic. However, I don't think that the section on Chinese beauty standards was needed. It is intriguing to see the comparison between the Korean beauty standards and Chinese beauty standards; however, since the topic is on Korean beauty standards, I believe that the section on Chinese beauty standards could be removed. The article also has a comparison between Korean beauty standards and American beauty standards, but the article does not contain a separate section for American beauty standards. So I think it would be better if the comparison between Chinese and Korean beauty standards came after the comparison between American and Korean one. It did not have outdated information or missed any critical information. I think the article could have been even more appealing if it had images of examples of Korean beauty standards (makeup, plastic surgeries, and tattoo, etc.)

Tone - I think the tone sounded little biased when the article talked about how Korean high school students have very low self-esteem and have an eager to look more beautiful than others. It is difficult to measure how much self-esteem that a person has. It is a subjective topic. I believe this could have been better if the author showed some evidence that Korean high school students have relatively lower self-esteem than the students in other countries. It could have been surveys, interviews or other type of qualitative research. I also think that this part could be overrepresented because Korean high school students with low self-esteem may not represent the whole population of Korean high school students. It could be just a small portion. I believe there should be more supporting evidence for this claim.


Sources - All sources do work. The sources do support the claims that were cited in the article. One of the sources came from a personal blog about Korean skincare routine so I believe that this source could be considered as a biased one.

Talk - The conversation sounds polite with suggestions to edits and changes. The article is a part of WikiProject Korea. It is rated as a Start-Class on the project's quality scale. No ratings on importance scale. It is also a part of WikiProject Fashion. It is also rated as a Start-Class on the project's quality scale and no ratings on importance scale for this project.
