1.     What stub did you choose? Why did you choose this one? Copy and past the URL link into your Sandbox

I chose Norse mythology and chose the Okolnir stub. I chose this one because it sounded the most familiar to me.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Okolnir

2.     How do you know that it's a stub: Identify where on the page that you know that this is a stub

I know this is a stub because on the talk page of this article it says multiple times in the yellow box at the top that it is a “Rated Stub class”

3.     What are some missing or underdeveloped parts of this stub? A good way to determine this is to compare your stub to a more developed article on the same topic and category. So for example, if you chose a stub article on a horror novel, look for another Wikipedia article on another horror novel that is more fully developed. What is missing on your stub page in comparison? You should devote 4-5 sentences to answering this question.

Currently the article is one sentence long so there is lots of room to grow. Okolnir is a plain mentioned in a poem so the back story, purpose, and author of the poem could be mentioned. The purpose of the plain itself could have been mentioned. Lastly, it says Okolnir is located in the hall of Brimir so it would not hurt to explain what the hall of Brimir is.

4.     In particular, locate the "References" section of the stub. What, if anything, is listed in the references? If the references are hyperlinked, do the links still work?

The reference is The Poetic Edda by Carolyne Larrington and then there are three links connected. The links are to Oxford World Classics, the International Standard Book Number, and special book sources.

5.     And, when you compare this stub to a well-developed article of the same category type, what sections of the overall article are present, and what is missing?

I decided to choose the Loki article because he is also mentioned in the Poetic Edda and is widely popular. There is information about when Loki is mentioned throughout the Poetic Edda. There is also information about Loki’s brother Thor and how they are brought up together. There is archeological proof of Loki as well as the Scandinavian folklore version of him. Although this is all neat information the basic information of the origins and how Loki is brought up in media culture is also mentioned. This article does have a lot of well-rounded information and

From Dr. Hildebrandt: Brandylinn, good job with this. This could lead you to or actually be the article that you actually end up editing. Btw, I didn't see your work for SA #24 in Wikipedia. Did you have any problems with that?
