:::This model has had an impact on a number of studies so it goes beyond Hall's. I am currently working on improving this page and will be including case studies that other theorists have done based off of Hall's work, and will be adding it to the page soon.

Dear Carolyn,

I think your article is very well-structured and you did a detailed job explaining the model of encoding/decoding. I agree that this topic definitely merit its own article on Wikipedia because this theory is so canonical and a large number of studies in media, culture and society is based on Hall's model. There are a few suggestions I think would improve the article. First of all I think this article needs to be connected to other Wikipedia articles to increase its credibility. I can see from the [[Stuart Hall]]'s Wiki page that there is already a mention of Encoding/Decoding model but there is not a link to this page. I think the [[Reception theory]] article is also a good place to connect all these different theories together.

You may also want to include an example while explaining the different positions of decoding to better clarify them. What you did in that section was explaining what the theory was, but can you apply it using a practical example?

Also, Hall presented some graphs and charts that easily explain his model, and since we belong to such a visual culture it might be a good idea to check out some graphics that summarize Hall's model. Internet users are likely to look at a chart and get the point immediately rather than read through too much writing. On the other, getting the copyrights to publish Hall's graphics might be a pain.
