Bio:

I'm a 16 year-old who loves creative writing and singing. I write romance stories for fun and really enjoy writing short stories as well. I'm currently a high school and college student working part-time. I'm an avid singer with a soprano vocal range and a pop tone of voice. I sing on mic once or twice a month and have been singing since I was little.

I haven't completed any pages on Wikipedia yet, but I study actors from some of my favorite shows and I can't wait to get started editing on their pages in the future. I'm currently on here for my English class but can't wait to get started editing when I have free time. I'm hoping to edit some of my favorite bands and solo-singers pages as well.

Article Evaluation:

When searching for a Wikipedia page to use for this assignment I came across the Coins of Ireland page. This page is small and has a few minor and easy to fix issues that come along with it. I'm not particularly interested in Coins of Ireland, but the page has everything required for my essay. The page has three aspects worth commenting on: citations, age, and grammar/voice.

Citations

The article, at first glance, contains no citations. When looking into it further I found three external links at the very bottom of the page, yet, none of those sources are cited in the actual article. There is also a particularly large amount of information for only three articles to be mentioned at the end. It seems the article has used one source for many paragraphs of information. Only one source contained an author and the others never gave credit to an author of any kind.

Age

The article was last edited in August of 2019, when I researched the links, I found that two of them were last edited in early 2018 and the third article didn't contain a date. I'm not concerned about the last article not having a date, but it would be nice to know if the article was current or not. Just to know the specifics of the dates and information on the actual Wikipedia page. There's no other way to know if the article is up to date unless the sources contain a date. At first glance, the websites seem real and seem to have current and logical information on each one of them as well. No author or date isn't a great way to start off a list of sources on any Wikipedia page.

Grammar/Voice

The article is a perfect tone of voice for the topic. Nothing seems unrealistic or fake on the page. All the information is valid and is nicely stated in the formal matter that Wikipedia asks that all its users to follow when posting on their site. It's really nice to see an article with such good grammar/voice. Each section is perfectly explained in the best tone of voice for the article and the information that it contains. The neutral tone is great for explaining unbiased information that the reader really wants to know.

Conclusion

The three topics discussed that were discussed were: citations, age, and grammer/voice. The article had a low amount of sites that were mentioned, and no citations at all. Only three websites were linked at the bottom of the article. There seemed to be a lot more information than three articles could contain. None of the articles were actually cited in the article. The Coins of Ireland page was updated in mid-2019 and two of the sources were from early 2018, I consider those very current for the Wikipedia page. Only one site of the three lacked a date and author. The grammar/voice was great for the article, nicely written and neutral for the information being shared.
