Bio
[edit]About Me
[edit]Hello! Thank you for visiting my page. I really enjoy spending time outdoors, so one of my favorite hobbies is hiking. I also really enjoy cycling and playing volleyball because it helps me stay active during these tough times. Staying active not only helps my mental well-being, but also helps prevent things like heart attacks and diabetes.[1] Music is also a big part of my life because of the escapism it offers me when life gets a little too crazy. I play lots of different instruments like piano, guitar, flute, and violin. I'm generally a pretty outgoing person and am always open to trying new things!
My Wikipedia Interests
[edit]If I'm active on Wikipedia in the future, I'll probably use my knowledge of music to help complete or revise various wikipedia pages. Again, I'm open to trying new things, so I'm not too picky on what I will do!

Article Evaluation
[edit]Over the past year I began listening to an artist by the name of "Novo Amor". I really enjoy his style of music and listen to it pretty often so I want the information about him on Wikipedia to be as accurate as it could be. With that mindset I visited the Novo Amor article on Wikipedia, and found three aspects of it worth commenting on: the misleading external links, the article being up-to-date, and the lack of current references.
External Links
[edit]When I scrolled to the bottom of the article where I would be able to find the artist's website and social media, I noticed a couple of things wrong with the links. One was that when I tried to click the link that would lead me to his Facebook, the link was dead and just told me a problem occurred. Another problem was that the Twitter link led to me a random private account, not the artist's official Twitter. Upon further inspection, I found that the artist does have a twitter account but his Wikipedia page fails to provide a link to get to it. The last thing wrong with the links was that there was no Instagram link. I thought this was a little strange since the artist has a public, verified Instagram page. This information can be misleading to those who want more insight into the artist and his presence on social media
Up-To-Date
[edit]Novo Amor recently came out with a new song by the title of "Haven". Although it's only been a month since its' release, the wikipedia article offers information about the new song. All of the information on the page seems pretty up to date, but some of the newer information doesn't have any links leading to the source, making it a little less viable.
Current References
[edit]At first glance, it seemed as if the article does a pretty good job of citing the information given. But after further inspection, I realized that a lot of the references were a little outdated and didn't have too much relevant information. The author of the article could have used Novo Amor's interview with Euphoria Magazine which offers lots of insight into the artist's character and motivations. Instead, the author uses some outdated articles and interviews from 2016.
Summary
[edit]Overall, I would probably rate the accuracy of this article as "alright". It offers a lot of vital and reliable information about the artist and his music. Although some of the references are a little outdated, the authors of the page seem to be doing pretty good with updating the article to keep it as current as possible. The authors could try to improve their page by citing more of their work and updating a few of the links so there could be more sources and information on the artist.
