Bio: About me: My hobbies are painting, road trips.I enjoy spending my free time with friends and family. We love to spend time in nature such as, hikes, camping and long walks on the beach. I love to sing, i've been singing with my older cousin for about 10 years now. We had a singing coach that had us perform for contests, and it was too stressful on us at such a young age. We ended up switching to a different singing coach. And we started performing at our church. I also played clarinet for the school band throughout 5th grade to 8th grade. Once I quit playing for the school I joined my church band. I'm really involved in my church and I love it.
My Wikipedia interests: If I am going to ever be active on Wikipedia. Then I will probably use it to research what normal people like me research the way the world is today. I have previously used Wikipedia to further my information about animals, plants, and other subjects as well.
Thank you for visiting my Wikipedia page.
Introduction While searching for a good article, I came upon an article about coffee in Seattle. I looked at some of the information that was given in the article I read. The article itself was on coffee and the city of Seattle, and basically Seattle is a city that lives off of coffee. This article got my attention because I am a regular coffee drinker. I visited Coffee in Seattle article on Wikipedia, I found three main things worth commenting on: not each fact was cited with a reliable source, the citations are not as current as possible, and there are dead links included in this article.
Not each fact cited was a reliable source. Each fact throughout this article was not supported by credible sources. There were many statements in this article like “Seattle is regarded as a world center for coffee roasting and coffee supply chain management. Related to this, many of the city’s inhabitants are coffee enthusiasts; the city is known for its prominent coffee culture and many coffeehouses.” These kinds of statements were not backed up by anytime of cited sources. But it included hyperlinks to the words in bold to different wiki articles. Even though there are many examples of statements that were not backed up by citations, most of them had references and links at the very bottom of the page. I then clicked on each reference, then each link to open up the cited sources and quickly read through them. Some didn't even exist and some were completely dated.
The Citations were not as current as possible. While there were citations for most of the information, when I went to look there were articles that were updated between 5 to 10 years ago. Then there were some articles that had been updated just a couple months ago. Reference #18 was the one of the most recent and it was retrieved on September 27, 2020. And then there were some sources that were dated back to 1984 (Reference #19).
There are dead links included in this article. As I kept clicking through every single link and the links that I found to be dead were reference numbers 2, 5, 12, and 19. When I would click on some of the links it would take me to a page with no article. Those articles were either removed or just simply didn't work. A couple of the articles were books, websites and PDFs.
