Artical Improvements
Wikipedia is a useful resource in which anyone can use to provide them with general knowledge of a subject that interests them. However, it has come to my attention that often articles lack the proper information on Wikipedia due to their irrelevance. For instance pages on not so famous artists in the genre of alternative and soul music are extremely underdeveloped and unkempt. I visited the NoMBe page on Wikipedia and found three aspects of it worth commenting on citations, age, and structure. NoMBe is an alternative/ soul artist whose real name is Noah McBeth his page as been poorly written and is not very well maintained though he has quite the following.

Articles age
The next critique which I believe is the biggest is that the Wikipedia page on NoMBe is not updated. All the information on Noah McBeth is from 2017-2018. Which means we have missed a full year of updated information. Since he is an artist I regularly listen to I know that he has released a new album in 2019 and a new song in 2020 but it is not mentioned on his page. He also has an upcoming tour in 2020 but that is never mentioned either. So it looks like since he’s an underrated artist not many people have cared to keep his article up to date.

Information
The last issue I have found with the article on NoMBe is its structure/ completeness. Most pages on artist have a structure in which awards are shown in a section as well as the personal life of the artist. His is structures in a boring manner as if no one cared to make it more presentable. There is also much more information on him that is just not there. I found this pretty odd since the articles on him that were cited on Wikipedia had interesting facts and a lot about him but his Wikipedia page is bland and dull. It’s disappointing because he is a great artist whose Wikipedia page makes him seem rather unimportant and unaccomplished.

Summary
The Overall Wikipedia page on NoMBe has much to improve on though it is clear volunteers are trying their best to maintain articles on Wikipedia. This article is rather brief and is poorly looked after. With that said there is room for improvement and each day the volunteers on Wikipedia continue to improve its library even though there are clear flaws each can be resolved with more outside help.

About me
I'm a student, guitarist, reader, and poet looking to share my knowledge of the subjects I’m passionate about. Anything you can read is worth learning to me. History and literature are passions of mine. You can catch me in the library collecting books to read and engorging myself in historical facts learning about how if John Quincy wasn’t president he would like to have been a great poet. Every now and then you can find me pouring my heart out on a piece of paper writing an imperfect poem. Although I am nowhere near a musician I spend a lot of my time self-teaching myself the acoustic guitar. In hopes of one day turning my poems into music.

My Wikipedia interests
Currently, on Wikipedia, I intend to volunteer my knowledge by editing articles on key historical figures that have had a vital impact on the world around us. I hope to contribute to Wikipedia by ensuring articles are correct and up to date as well as being an avid user of Wikipedia to ensure its growth.
