The article I am evaluating is called "Online dating service." [1] The content in this article was relevant to the main topic. The article is underdeveloped in some areas and overdeveloped in others. There is quite a large section on the negative impact of these dating tools and the section showing positive feedback towards them is lacking. So, this therefore makes the article seem biased against these dating tools. There are many citations missing in this article. In the "talk" section of the article, it is mentioned that many of the cited sources aren't reliable or up to Wikipedia standards. I would add a list of the many dating websites and apps and include more information about each one. I would specifically try and focus on the more popular services and take a deeper look into why they are so popular. I would also add some more research on how dating culture has been impacted by online dating, with possibly a more positive outlook, to counteract the negative outlook. I may even try and include information on how, why or if online dating has become more popular. Overall, I would just try and emphasize the more positive benefits to online dating.
Here is a list of some sources that I think could be used to help improve the article:

Citing Sources Edit: There is both apps and websites where people can go to engage in online dating. Some of the apps include Tinder, Bumble, OkCupid, PlentyOfFish, Coffee Meets Bagel, and Match, just to name a few. [2]
Article Draft:
Tinder vs Bumble
The CEO of Bumble, Whitney Wolfe Herd, used to be one of the co-creators of Tinder. She then left to create Bumble, which had unprecedented success. Bumble has also hired several ex-Tinder employees. "...the Match Group — a segment of InterActiveCorp, whose chairman is Barry Diller — offered to purchase Bumble for $450 million."[3] Bumble declined the offer because they believed that their app is worth more than they were offered. The significant aspect of the Bumble is that it allows the woman to make the first move. Tinder then chose to follow suit and use something similar in their format. Bumble then complained about theft and so Match sued Bumble for stealing from them only for Bumble to then turn around and sue Match right back.
