Peer Review from Shuxin Zhao

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

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]
