About me

Greetings! Call me Cadner. I am a student at Everett Community College. I first began my college education in the fall of 2019, as you see it has taken me a while to accomplish my associate's degree. A setback was caused by a year-long suspension from Everett Community College due to my poor grades. Attending as a new me, I hope to obtain my associates to prove to others I am not a failure. Putting the negative people and actions of my past behind me. As a person, though I am rather boring; I play games like the average young adult, and I like to exercise. However, though I play Magic The Gathering which makes me somewhat of a nerd, other than that I don't have many hobbies.

My Wikipedia interests

I have an interest in older Japanese domestic market (JDM) cars. There is a lot of info missing from lesser-known JDM cars on Wikipedia such as the Isuzu Piazza, and the Autozam AZ-1. Always fascinated by these lesser-known cars I hope to have a wider audience of car enthusiasts apricate the lesser-known cars, and engines. These cars deserve an audience like the piazza had a 8.2 second 0-60 and at the time that was a great time, especially for a economy class car.

Article Evaluation

Well to begin, I wouldn't say I had much luck thinking of an idea to write about. Never been the creative type, so in desperation trying to find a topic to write about I started viewing random articles. Aglets, yes, the end piece on shoes is where I ended up. While not quite interested in aglets, it was a perfect topic. I visited the aglet page on Wikipedia, and found three aspects of it worth commenting on: it's irrelevant citations, it's lack of citations, and the articles date.

Irrelevant Citations

I noticed while reading over the aglet article that citation 4 was used rather a lot. After reading through citation 4 it appears that the author used this citation while it had no correlation to the statement made. Along side that citation 4 doesn't seem to be the most trust worthy. It may have a .org address, however the contents here lack verifiability and all claims are rather surface claims.

Lack of Citations

Some citations made in this article have dead links along with some facts having no citation. There is a fact claiming the use of aglets before the creation of buttons, however there is no citation. This causes one to question whether the fact is true or not. This is not the only case of this problem. Also when talking about the difference between the difference between aglets and aiguillettes there is no citation made.

Phineas and Ferb Vandalism

This Wikipedia page is very up to date. Actually it was only updated two weeks ago, however this isn't for a good reason. This Wikipedia page faces constant vandalism from viewers of Phineas and Ferb. Due to this constant vandalism, it causes some skepticism on what info is actually correct and what info is purposefully misleading. While this is out of control unless they lock the page, it is a problem that must be addressed.

Conclusion

I would not call this source reliable, but if you needed a quick definition of an aglet it would suffice. There is a clear problem with it's citations. From citations being used where it doesn't correlate at all, having dead citations, and no citations, it raises ever alarm to me. Vandalism is also a problem on this page, while it ensures that the page is constantly up to date, it raises the question on if you are reading a parody article without knowing.
