Talk:Standpoint theory

thread_title:  Delete reference to Tina Campt? 

message: This article contains relevant information and a solid list of sources, but the writing style reads like a draft rather than a finished article. Please help clean up the language, syntax, and sentence structure. Many of the phrases could be shortened or left out. Also, standpoint theory is widely used in critical philosophy and so would best be categorized as philosophy or political philosophy. Thanks, everyone.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 137.120.69.108 (talk) 15:09, 30 May 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Indeed the article is an appalling mess. For example: "Knowledge helps us understand part of the world that we normally tend to not understand." That sounds like someone was writing without something to say. I think this happened because a high-school class was assigned to edit this page, as noted above. Here's what they did. However, this is how wikis work. People make changes, providing new material but often in a very flawed form. Other people then improve the page by fixing the flaws and building on whatever good was in the earlier edits. In the process, they probably will introduce new flaws, and on it goes. Please see WP:NOTDONE. You are invited to clean up the current mess, however much you care to. Every little bit helps. (Apologies if you already know all this; many people don't.) —Ben Kovitz (talk) 16:09, 30 May 2012 (UTC)

thread_title:  Concentrates too much Western perspective? 

message: Hi! I'm a new editor participating in a Wiki Education program. I'm copying part of this article into my sandbox to work on making it less technical. I'll return the edits here. Thanks for any suggestions or help offered. This is my first attempt at editing more than a punctuation mark. Amyjoomaha (talk) 18:57, 31 October 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  Ongoing editing 

message: Hi! I am from Georgetown University and I am assigned to peer-reviewed the Wikipedia page.
As it is stated at the very beginning of the Standpoint Theory Wikipedia page, “this article may be too technical for most readers to understand.” There are few diagrams to help the non-academic audiences to understand the theory, which may lead to the loss of their attention and interests, though previous editors made efforts on providing examples in the introduction. Unlike other Wikipedia pages about theories, Standpoint one utilizes fewer references in the Applications part, which, from my point of view, needs more efforts to select papers and complement the fundamental theory part. I literally appreciate the work you are doing on this page because of the efforts you are contributing to helping people understand the amazing theory.
I choose two references and sincerely hope they can help.

thread_title:  Fall 2020 Communication Theory and Frameworks Course Peer Review 

message: The second sentence of the lead paragraph reads,  This seems entirely circular. A quick Ctrl+F search of the article yields discussions of power ; is that what this is alluding to? Is there a missing verb, e.g. ? Only I can't find any further explanation of how an individual's  might grant them actual power. Any help would be appreciated. --Sangdeboeuf (talk) 08:42, 3 July 2021 (UTC)
thread_title:  Confused about lead paragraph 

message: This journal article from the Dhaulagiri Journal of Sociology & Anthropology appears to support that specific claim. I am not familiar with the subject, but it seems like it could be used as a source for that claim. Padgriffin Griffin's Nest 04:06, 1 August 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Thank you for looking; might be useful for working into the rest of the parts of the article that are uncited. I think there needs to be more explanation about what's wrong with that graf to justify a graf deletion (more than just that "it's an opinion", since this the lead and I thought it was a fine summary/explanation of contents of the article). I've taken a stab at an edit, with a citation to the Britannica page that was already in the references section. —Wingedserif (talk) 10:26, 1 August 2022 (UTC)

thread_title: Wiki Education assignment: Advanced Communication Theory

message: The article is well structured, organized and cited. At the top of the page, there is a recommendation, from Wikipedia, not to delete the page. This is because the content of Standpoint Theory is used as an important part of Standpoint Feminism Theory. The lead section in this article could be improved. It should summarize the whole content of the article with less details. Structurally, the headings are consistent but the article lacks some supporting visual images. Adding these images, especially to the “Key Concepts” section, would improve the quality. The article is well linked to other Wikipedia pages. Organizationally, the section transitions complement each other and provide a broad information of this important theory. However, I would categorize the “Applications” section and give some useful examples. I would mention refugees, as one of the marginalized groups, and bring to the article some supporting sources on how refugees’ perceptions are reshaped when their social and political experiences change.

thread_title: Identical Citations

message: Hi, I am a student from Georgetown University, and I am requested to peer review this Wikipedia page.
This page has been organized structurally in its historic, conceptual, and practical sections which are arranged thoroughly but not redundant. And there are plenty of citations, especially for Wikipedia-linked citations.
To provide some further improving advice, adding more applications other than gender (especially familism) can supplement and update the latest academic focus on standpoint theory because standpoint feminism serves as another independent Wikipedia page. For example, children and colored groups could be researched under the standpoint theory. I list some alternative readings for further usage:

thread_title:  Fall 2022 CCTP 752 Communication Theory and Frameworks Peer Review 

message: Under the heading "Criticisms", in the second paragraph the fourth (and final) sentence states "Intentional overbalance of power, or revenge, can manifest as justification for extremism and militarism, which can sometimes be seen in more extreme forms of feminism" (emphasis added). It seems to me that in this context the word they were intending to use was "militancy". I am unaware of any examples of a nexus of feminism and militarism. Any objections to my changing this to "militancy"? Bricology (talk) 11:23, 2 March 2023 (UTC)
