Bio

About me

My hobbies include Swimming, playing tennis, and sketching for fun. Swimming is a really good form of exercise.^[1]I also like to travel; I've been to a lot of places around the world like London, Paris, Italy, Mexico, and more. I enjoy baking and eating food.

My Wikipedia interests

If I'm active on Wikipedia in the future, I'll probably be using it to look up something I want to better understand.

Article Evaluation

I'm really interested in the topic of swimming and the different swimming strokes because I'm a swimmer. I visited the swimming stroke article on Wikipedia, and found three aspects of it worth commenting on: over-representing. irrelevant sections, and citations.

Over-representing

I've noticed in this article about swimming stroke, that they over-represented the different strokes. As a competitive swimmer I was taught all the different strokes, Butterfly, Back stroke, Breast Stoke, and Free style. In the section "Swimming Styles," they talked about the stokes Trudgen, Forward Back stroke, and side stroke etc., there is no such thing as Forward Back stoke. They are making up all these different strokes and are talking too much about them.

Irrelevant Sections

In the article these also irrelevant sections like "Life Saving Strokes." Swimming strokes help you move faster through the water, laying on your back/safe place is what would safe you if you are getting tired so you wont drown. I would change that section to safe place and talk about floating on your back instead of "Life Saving Strokes."

Citations

The Citations on this page do not take you to the right articles they say they do. For the section "Swimming Styles," they named one of the strokes "Forward backstroke" and when you click on it, it takes you to a article about backstroke and says nothing about Forward backstroke.

Summary

Overall, I'd rate the page as "not so very good." It talks about non- existent strokes like Forward Backstroke and non-helpful like saving strokes, and the section swimming strokes have non-reliable sources when it comes to swim.
