About Me

I am a college student from the Pacific Northwest, who enjoys reading fiction books and watching medical drama tv shows on her free time. I also enjoy traveling and seeing new places, my favorite places to go are Hawaii and any of the Disney Parks. My most favorite thing to do is get together with my whole family and do fun activities.

My Wikipedia Interests

I am currently using Wikipedia for school. I don't often use Wikipedia, when I do it is usually for homework assignments or other little things for information. I do not see myself using Wikipedia in the long term after this class.

Article Evaluation

For my topic I chose Lushootseed, which is one of the Native American Languages to Coastal Salish Natives. I am interested in this topic because this is the native language that is spoken in my culture. I visited the Lushootseed article in Wikipedia, and found three aspects of it worth commenting on: Is this article up-to-date? Are any of the links dead? Is each fact cited with an appropriate, reliable source?

After looking at the Lushootseed in Wikipedia page I would say it is well up-to-date. But it could include in the Language Revitalization section that Marysville Pilchuck High School offers a class to learn Lushootseed language and some of its history. The page was last updated on January 18, 2021.

When going through all of the links, I found three dead links. When clicking on each of the links it took me to a page that said "this page was not found", they should either update or delete the links. One of the dead links was supposed to go to a website that offers a Lushootseed "phrase of the week" audio. The second dead link was supposed to go to a Lushootseed Immersion Program website. The last dead link was supposed to go to a Puyallup News website.

After reading though the page I've noticed that each section has good reliable source attached to each fact.

Overall, this article is well up-to-date could include some updated information. There are good links in each of sections and there are some dead links. All of the facts are cited with appropriate, reliable sources.
