Peer Review from Shuxin Zhao[edit]

This page is already very good. It has a clear structure and detailed explanation, I believe readers will have a good understanding of this theory after going through this page. For further improvement, I have a few suggestions.

First, you could capitalize the subtitles (e.g. Premises and Origins, Duality of Structure, etc.). In that way, this page will look more formal.

Also, I think "Duality of structure", "Structure and society" and "Agents and society" could be merged under one parent section named "Theory Content" or something.

Finally, I noticed that this page lacks applications of theory, so maybe you could find some research about this theory and sort them out, then add a big section to respectively introduce those studies. I believe it will help readers better understand this theory.

Peer Review from Jenny Xu[edit]

This page is great as it is comprehensive and everything written here is relevant to the structuration theory. It maintains a neutral tone and also does not rely too heavily on the original research, judging from the bibliographies. I love it how this page includes a section about criticism, which can give the readers a better understanding of this theory from another perspective. However, I do think that there are too many direct quotes under "premise and origins" and it is better to paraphrase them. Also, under "duality of structure", the third paragraph lacks citations.--Rorogaga (talk) 01:37, 21 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
