Maybe more things to talk about?

I really like how you used something taught in class and expanded on it. Your wiki is very detailed and I appreciate the good formatting. Something I would have liked to see in your wiki page is how over represented breast cancer research seems to be whereas other things that are equally as important don't get the attention or funding that they need.

It might be a good idea to expand more on the different organizations that are guilty for 'pink washing' their products and maybe provide more links for further readings.

Overall very good work.

Images, and References

I like your incorporation of the topic of pink awareness and pink washing. You might have not added them yet, but I think it could use a little more images, perhaps some statistics and graphs or charts to show just how commercialized it is. Perhaps use some Canadian examples as well, such as the Canadian Cancer Society, and other groups and see what they are doing about breast cancer, or how the community is raising awareness for this.

Also, remember to include proper references at the bottom later on (I'm not sure if you just put those there so you can go back to it later).

Good luck!

Addition of images

Really interesting post especially given the fact that we looked at this topic in class, it was interesting to see more information about it. It would be good I think to see more images, because there are so many examples of this type of commercialization of breast cancer and for the one image that's on the page to be more prominent. I think you could also add more resources of websites or companies that are trying to counteract this "pinkwashing" such as the Breast Cancer Action website that we looked at in class.
