I am a college student attending Olympic college in Bremerton, Washington. I moved to Washington on the month of August of 2017 form Southern California and moved in with my family. Some of my hobbies include playing the sport of Lacrosse and going to the lake near my house. Interesting things about me are; I am a twin, I have traveled across over half the country and I have owned a car since before I could even drive.

I am interested in many things about Wikipedia, including the fact that it can be edited and changed to make it factual and truthful. I am also interested in the sheer mass of subjects and people that Wikipedia covers. If I were to integrate myself into the Wikipedia community I would probably not write any articles. I would however watch and edit certain articles and make changes to them. The changes i would make would probably only change grammatical errors and edit sentences if they are nonfactual.

Article critique essay

There are many Wikipedia articles of excellent quality, however there are some that have room for improvement. The article that I used is in fact one of these articles. I visited the Siguinoguin town page on Wikipedia, and found three aspects of it worth commenting on: it had very few links about the town, there are many parts of it that are incomplete or outdated, and It does not expand information about the town.

The first aspect worth commenting on is that there are very little and very poor links and references on this article. There is only one link about the town itself on this article given to the reader. When clicked, however, there is a dead webpage that is brought up. It also brings an error page to the web browser being used, so the link is useless. The links they bring up that aren’t about the town are also stubs, meaning that they are incomplete. So any extra information about or around the town is either gone or incomplete. This shows that this article can be improved just by having better links and references.

Another aspect worth critiquing is that the article feels incomplete and forgotten. The article is very short being only two sentences. These two sentences only tell what province the town is in and the population count. They could expand the information by saying what part of africa the town is in, and talk about the way the town is ran. The information is also taken from over twelve years ago and could have changed, so the article could just be incorrect. The article could be improved by expanding the information and updating the year the information was recorded.

The third critique that can be provided is that the article doesn’t give any information about the town itself. It just provides facts about where the town is. Compared to the article about San Diego it provides virtually no information. The San Diego Wikipedia article immediately gives information about the city in writing “San Diego is called ‘the birthplace of California.’” Aside from that the Siguinoguin article gives no information on how the town works opposed from the San Diego article writing about all the ways the town runs economically. This article could have provided much more information about the town, but it didn’t.

To conclude, the article Wikipedia about Singuinoguin could be improved in three different ways. It should improve on its references and links, it could be updated, and it could have more information on the town, similar to more popular articles. All of these changes could greatly increase the article's quality and usefulness.
