thread_title:  What about "post-ANT" or "after-ANT" 

message: The article is still way too centered around the concepts in ANT without explanations of the general idea. I removed much of the concept-specific stuff. Added references to relevant sections and restructured the text a bit. Still, everything under other central concepts is a bit superfluous in my opinion, since the different authors connected with ANT use different concepts.--Psyphilis (talk) 15:37, 2 April 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Started cleanup of the article 

message: Incorporate all references into one list (the ref tag list)
Re-write other central concepts into a more fluent text
Expand the section on human and non human actors. Since this is the novelty of ANT and this is more of a general introduction, this probably should be a central part of the article.
Make the use of ANT or Actor-Network Theory more coherent.--Psyphilis (talk) 15:37, 2 April 2012 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: I am trying to clean up the lead, as it is in many ways the most important part of the article and is the first (and last) encounter to ANT that many people have. Please edit to make clearer, but I think it still needs some work. FULBERT (talk) 15:59, 16 August 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  Lead revision 

message: As I am sure you are aware, there is a concerted effort by a number of feminist Wikipedians to "address" gender balance issue by (what might be perceived as) an over emphasis on female academics and their relevance/importance/contribution to specific themes and innovations. The hyperlinks to two lesser figures (Annemarie Mol and Helen Verran) rather than the key innovators on ANT (as determined by factors such as the originators of the concept, as agreed on in the article itself) suggests a clear example of this. If there is no specific reason for linking to these two figures as opposed to Latour, Callon, Law etc. I would suggest deleting the links. Wikipedia is not, of course apolitical, but this seems to be a type of manipulation against the spirt of Wikipedia. 92.41.22.159 (talk) 13:35, 24 July 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: See gender bias on Wikipedia. It's a well-documented, well-researched part of the systemic bias of Wikipedia. That there are two women linked in the see also section does not mean the article has been tagged by a feminist cabal. It means they're relevant to ANT and aren't even mentioned in the article. See also does not link to articles that are already linked, so it would be against Wikipedia guidelines to link to Latour, Callon, Law, etc. If the cabal has been "addressing" things here, they haven't done a very good job, as there is exactly one woman mentioned in the whole of the actual article (Haraway), and then these two linked below it. My interest in ANT hasn't brought me far beyond the core works on the subject, so I don't know what the significant perspectives are since then, but if these two people are noted scholars/practitioners of ANT (even if they are not Latour himself), would the article not be better by including them? — Rhododendrites talk \\ 14:20, 24 July 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  Internal Links 

message: Background and context need to be developed further, and many paragraphs need references. Also, an extra segment could be added that discusses the role of actor-network theory in understanding the implementation of information technology in corporations, and communication technology would be appropriate.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by HebaTea (talk • contribs) 17:34, 26 October 2021 (UTC)
thread_title:  Peer Review for Communication Theory Class -Actor-Network Theory 

message: The overall outline and structure of the page is pretty good. They are arranged in a way that flows well and is easy to follow: starting with a description of the key concepts, its application in other disciplines and practice, and its contributions and criticisms. However, I agree with Pixie233's feedback regarding contributions: it needs citations to support the four contributions. I think this section could also benefit from a more meaningful discussion of the first contribution ("nonhuman actors can be considered as a condition in human social activities") and why nonhuman actors serving as conditions is significant. Having examples for each of these contributions would also be great. One text I could think of that could serve as an example for one of them (nonhumans as members of moral and political associations) is Langdon Winners "Do Artifacts Have Politics?" (1980). --Rcc90  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rcc90 (talk • contribs) 03:25, 19 October 2022 (UTC)
