Bio

I live in the Pacific Northwest and enjoy nature. I am skilled in tennis and being positive. I like coffee, Netflix, and the season fall. Some of my accomplishments include team captain of my tennis team, National Honors Society, and being involved in college classes during high school.

I am interested in psychology and mental illnesses so that is something I would be interested in reading over. I am excited to learn more about Wikipedia and how to use it and learn from it. Another topic I would be interested in exploring and working on would be tennis because I play tennis and it is interesting.\

Article Review

Recently the song “Simple” by Florida Georgia Line has  become one of my favorites because of this I was interested in learning some of the logistics behind the song. I visited the Simple (Florida Georgia Line Song) page on Wikipedia, and found three aspects worth commenting on: the citations, lack of images, and the “Commercial Performance” section.

Citations

This page does include some citations, but not many. In the very first paragraph of the page there are no citations for any of the information they had mentioned. They talk about the concept of the song without citing anything to back up their statement, not even the lyrics. In the second section of the page they added more citations, but they still only listed two different sources and they still did not back up their first statement of the section with a source.

Lack of Images

The writers working on this page decided to mention the band’s Instagram using black and white photos to advertise the song, but they did not insert any of the photos talked about. The use of a photo can be very important when trying to engage a reader and inform them of a certain topic. I visual aid would had been helpful to see exactly what they were talking about in this section.

"Commercial Performance"

The page contains a section labeled “Commercial Performance”, in this section there is only one sentence. The one sentence in this section talks about how many copies were sold in the USA, but does not mention anything about sales in other countries. This is odd because in the article there is a chart stating what position the song peaked at on the charts in Canada. It would make sense for the “Commercial Performance” to also talk about copies sold in Canada.

Summary

The page was informative and fun to read, but it definitely has room for improvement. The lack of citations makes it difficult to conclude whether the information is reliable. Having no visuals to show what the writers were talking about causes unsure thoughts about what is actually going on in the text.The “Commercial Performance” section was especially concerning for the reason that it only includes one sentence of information.
