From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I'm a student at Everett Community College and am current in my first year of college. My hobbies are watching anime, jiu jitsu, boxing, and being an idiot with my friends. I've been doing boxing and jiu jitsu since middle school and end of high school. Ever since I've started college I've found myself going less and focusing more on school. I'm not that outgoing and prefer to stay to myself. I've always been a fan of adventure and fantasy books.

I have 3 dogs. 2 of them being pit bulls and the other being a renascence bulldog. I haven't used Wikipedia much in general, Only using it for quick fact checks and maybe to look into anything of interest. Hopefully at the end of the quarter I'll be more adept at using Wikipedia and maybe use it more often for school or in my personal time. I'm a hard worker and I'm ready to put the time and energy for College and schooling.

Article Evaluation

[edit]

I've always been interested in Ghibli Films as a kid, and still am now. I've seen most of studio Ghibili's more popular works such as Howl's Moving Castle, Spirited Away, Ponyo on the Cliff, and the one article I'll be talking about Princess Mononoke. When looking on a film to research I noticed that Princess Mononoke didn't have as much coverage on it compared to the other Ghibil films. So I visited the Princess Mononoke page on Wikipedia, and found three aspects of it worth commenting on: good neutral tone throughout, there are somethings left out of the article, and facts aren't properly cited.

Neutral tone

[edit]

After looking at several movie articles, I've noticed that most articles tend to be very neutral toned. The articles focus on the movie alone, so there are not many personal biases or if the movie was good or not. The article focuses on topics that don't allow personal bias, such as cast, plot, production, etc. They sometimes have it highlighted when editing that there should be no personal bias.

Somethings left out

[edit]

Specifically I was looking at the theme section of the article, It could use some sub-headings when switching themes, so it's easier to follow the article. When writing about different topics under the main heading, there should be headings for easier use and just a cleaner, more organized appearance.

Citations

[edit]

When looking through the article I found that most long paragraphs use only one citation. The paragraphs usually have many claims, but only come from one source, which is also sometimes unreliable. There is also no citations in the "Soundtrack" part of the article, there should be at least one citation after every paragraph, and the fact that there are none currently make that part of the article look unreliable.

Summary

[edit]

Overall I'd give this page is a C+ due to the fact that it does overall have good tone and grammar throughout the whole article. However the article still has somethings left out that if added could make the page better. For example more sub-headings, under large main heading paragraphs can make the page more organized. Finally the page's citations are not as up to date, and there are some parts, specifically "Soundtrack" where they have no citations at all.


(I added sub-headings to "Themes")
