Confession Pages

For this project, our group should research information about confession pages. This Wikipedia page is very vague and does not provide much information. We can discuss what confession pages are, who uses them, how to make them, and what content are on these pages. We can include examples and photos to back up our findings. I added all this information to our page and it just needs to be edited more. If any of your guys can find more information to add that would be good.

This is a source that we can use: http://www.buzzfeed.com/justinesharrock/the-stange-world-of-high-school-confession-pages

While viewing this page, I found that it needed information on how confessions pages are being used and about their recent popularity. Therefore, I added information about high schools also using confessions pages and how pages have to be screened. I also added some information about the recent growth of confessions pages in different places. You guys can feel free to expand on these topics.

I found some information on U.S. schools wanting to remove Confessions Pages from social networks and how they are looking to start a trend against the development of such pages in the future. I added examples of this idea and explained this topic in further detail on our page. You guys can take a look at the link of this article and feel free to add more information on this topic.

I added some more information regarding the problems with confession pages, content on these pages, and why they have become popular in the recent years. I think we are in a good place because we show why students are so attracted to these pages while at the same time the problems that are occurring as a result of them. If we think we are missing important information post here so we can add before friday. Ryanloeb (talk) 18:43, 17 March 2014 (UTC)RyanLoeb

When first reviewing the information on the Confessions Page, I found that it lacked valuable sources. Therefore, I added information that focused on both the advantages and disadvantages of confession pages while incorporating the differences of confession pages at both the high school and collegiate levels. Additionally, I thought that this page lacked a clear and distinctive overview of confession pages and how it works. I planned revisions to this section to better understand how one's identity is concealed on confession pages. This is one source that incorporates these revisions: http://mashable.com/2013/03/19/facebook-confessions/ Mewilner (talk) 16:49, 20 March 2014 (UTC)
