Biography

[edit]

Strong believer in the fact that making your bed in the morning is the first task of the day and not only prepares you for the day, but prepares you for other tasks throughout life. I enjoy the beauties of the outdoors, including activities such as hiking, paddle boarding, rock climbing, fishing, and camping. Currently, I am a college student looking to get my AA at the time I graduate high school. After this, I want to study biochemistry at Harvard, or another Ivy League University.

I am particularly interested in learning and writing more about medicine, ancient medicine, and possible future medicine on Wikipedia. Being a part of the online encyclopedia community is not all that essential to me or what I want to accomplish in life. I believe things are better learnt from books and formulas, rather than what others say about it.

Article Review

[edit]

A lot of my family comes from and still lives in various areas of the great Canada. This gives me a Canadian background, and thus, and interest in Canada. I visited the "Canada Act 1982[1]" article page on Wikipedia and found three aspects of it worth commenting on: age, bias, and citations.

Age

[edit]

Something that surprised me about this article was how up to date it is. It was most recently edited in September of 2018, and several other times throughout this past year. Most articles have the problem of being out of date, however, this article is not one of them.

Bias

[edit]

Because, of it's harsh, almost aggressive, tone, this article sounds to be biased. It uses words such as: "still", "retained", "certain changes", "the lack of", "always", "must", and more. A very simple fix to this issue would be to change some of the wording used in the text, and/or sentences. While not a strong bias, it is still present in this article. When articles on historical events or constitutions sound as though they are biased, it can make the paper sound very artificial and not credible.

Citations

[edit]

The major issue with this article is that a lot of it's resources are out of date and can no longer be accessed to view information. The problem citations include references 2, 9, 11, 13, 16, and 21. To fix this, the updated references would need to be found and replace the old citations. These citations are the worst part of this page, but are not impossible to fix.

In Conclusion

[edit]

This article has a few very minor problems (age, bias, and citations), but is most definitely fixable. The length of the article could even prove more useful if a little longer, and more descriptive of the authors' analysis of the Canada Act 1982[2]. Overall, it had a nice flow and was very organized. This article was also straight to the point, making it easier to read and comprehend.
