From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I'm (1996-Present) a student who lives in the Pacific Northwest. I was born and raised in Japan and came to the U.S. to study at a community college. I've always wanted to live overseas to communicate with people from all over the world. I was interested in foreign countries and how its citizens live since I was a child. I want to study all kinds of foreign cultures and institutions to later put that knowledge to good use. I employ Wikipedia when I desire to learn about something. I study the history of America as well as collect information about what historical figure did in the past.


Article evaluation

[edit]

I've been loved eating sushi since I was a child. I've eaten a lot of different type of sushi until now, so I was wondering how foreign people know about sushi on Wikipedia web site. I want Wikipedia's coverage of sushi to be as good as it can be, and with that in mind, I visited the sushi page on Wikipedia, and found three aspects of it worth commenting on: its global emphasis, its lack of citations, and its lack of a link to Wikipedia's Wicki-Haydennote layout page.

Global emphasis

[edit]

I've noticed that Wikipedia's page of sushi mention about kinds of sushi, but it doesn't mention about sushi topping. I've eaten many kinds of sushi, so I know different style of sushi depending on the sushi material. However, this page doesn't tell about that. In addition, some picture of sushi are on the page, but I think they are not popular type of sushi. I don't see Battera are a type of pressed sushi made with mackerel from Osaka mentioned on this page.

Citations

[edit]

There are some citations on the page, but not many. General references are at the bottom, but these aren't cited in the article itself, so it's hard to find which things are fits to which sections. The article could use more citations and reliable sources used in the article. If there are other sources beyond these, perhaps then an "external links" section could include some of these.

Wicki-Hayden note layout

[edit]

I can see many different kinds of sushi there. The wikipedia page mentions a lot of Japanese style sushi, and western sushi. However I can see this mention about Korean style roll. I know it is very popular in Korea. It seems like a very simple thing to produce a wiki link.

Summary

[edit]

Overall, I'd rate this page as "okay." However I can't find out if the information there are completely legitimate. However the page cites some sources, so it's impossible to say whether or not the information is reliable. It says that western style sushi are rarely in Japan. A notable exception to this is the use of salmon. However I see a lot of sushi using salmon in Japan, so it is equivocation information.
