About Me

I'm a High-school and College Student who lives in Washington state. I enjoy being in the outdoors as I love to hike and explore trails in the Pacific Northwest. While I love being in the outdoors, a main hobby of mine is playing soccer, I enjoy how it builds my strength, flexibility and endurance on the field. More things about me: One of my many interests is to, later on, pursue a career in dentistry. I have a passion for learning new things and having an adventure.

My Wikipedia Interests

I hope to get more involved in this Wikipedia community as from what I've seen is very fascinating. I also plan to browse for new websites, interests, and opportunities to, later on, be a new hobby of mine. An goal of mine, further on, is to begin a project of editing pages or even correcting them here, on Wikipedia. Although this is all new to me, I will try my best to carry out being a better Wikipedia editor than I am now, a student having no experience editing here. Along with that, I intend to find new interests on here since I don't have much on my spectrum and I expect to eventually discover maybe a new book genre I might like or, maybe even a topic that will interest me.

Article Evaluation

Since I am a High-school student, I thought I could research more about my High-school, Marysville Getchell High School. Therefore, I expect its Wikipedia page to obtain some general information on it. Consequently, I visited the Marysville Getchell High School article on Wikipedia and found three aspects worth commenting on: the absence of information, misuse of citations and links, and overrepresentation of a few viewpoints.

Overrepresentation

I've noticed that most High-school's Wikipedia pages have a large variety of information about the school, and maybe even some extracurricular activities. With that mentioned, I detected on Marysville Getchell's Wikipedia page that it had only represented its architectural design and its features within the buildings itself. I expected to see at least some information that would actually relate to the school's activities or what they're known for instead of the design throughout the school but, it was the only information the page provided. Although it's helpful to get an idea of what the interior looks like of the school, others would rather want to see what activities, sports, or even clubs that are apart of and featured inside the school.

Absence of Information

As for the overrepresentation, I also indicated that there was an absence of information on the school's extracurricular activities and the overall character of the High School since there was an excess amount of information on the buildings, structures, and design. What would make the Wikipedia page more appealing to those who have either, never visited the school, or are planning to attend the school is a webpage that can present the school's leadership aspects and how the school is one-of-a-kind.

Misuse of Citations

There are a few citations listed under the page about the excellence in school design but, there are a group of links that lead to error pages. The Citation links also lack reliability considering that most of the links all lead to the same webpage. Although they used the citations a lot within the Wikipedia page, there were still links that never came up or were just plainly non-related to the source itself. Perhaps new and updated links with thorough research would make the site a lot more reliable.

Summary

All-in-all, I'd say this webpage is "alright." There is a good variety of information on the school's structures and design but, it could use some other information about the school considering that others wouldn't know anything about the character within the school if there is too much information on one topic. I just think there should be more information provided and better reliable cited sources since most sources that are listed on the page are either not working or are just not related to the topic they state.
