About Me
I am a college student in American. My hometown is a beautiful city in China, and I just come to the US to study for 4 months. I like to watch all kinds of movies. No matter what country it comes from or from which director, my interest is to try to watch various movies to enrich my horizons. Like documentaries, comedies, romances, mysteries, etc. In addition, I also love listening to music, whether it's pop, electric, rap. I also take the time to find works by different styles of singers.

My Wikipedia interests
One of my interest is hiking so sometimes I search for it. Regardless of the health issues associated with inactivity, the good news is that evidence shows physical activity helps prevent chronic disease, premature death, and improves health as well as quality of life. One great way to improve your health and to reduce chances of developing health concerns is to get outside and TAKE A HIKE!

LGBT Culture in Seattle
I looked at the Seattle site on Wikipedia and tried to find branches of other sites to evaluate. I want to choose articles that have space for evaluation, and I also want to choose articles that are controversial and of interest to me. I visited the LGBT Culture in Seattle page on Wikipedia, and found three aspects of it worth commenting on: Are some viewpoints over-represented or under-represented? Are the citations as current as possible? Is each fact cited with an appropriate, reliable source?

First of all, some viewpoints are under-represented. According to the article, it states that “Seattle has a sizeable gay minority,” and “Seattle overtook San Francisco as the United States city with the most households composed of gay or lesbian couples (2.6%), and was the only U.S. city with more than 1% of the households being lesbian couples.” Generally speaking, I think readers should give specific numbers or approximate numbers to prove their opinions when they are told that the quantity of an object is large or small, so as to make their opinions more credible. However, the article does not give any figures, but only a percentage, on the number of LGBT people in Seattle. In my opinion, this is a kind of under-represented.

Secondly, the citations are not as current as possible. When I browsed the article to see the listed sources, I found that the most recent sources for the article were very few. The most recent update is from 2020, but other sources are at least five years ago. I think a successful article on Wikipedia should have not only complete content, but also complete and up-to-date sources. An updated source can give readers an idea of what's really going on with the topic and make the article more authentic. From what I've said above, I don't think this article is as updated as possible from its source.

Finally, I think this article deserves credit for providing an appropriate and reliable source for every fact. Although I don't think the source of this article is up to date, I want to make sure that the source of each piece of information in this article is clear. In the content of this article, you can directly click on many keywords to enter the page quoted, or you can find the source based on the number marked after a paragraph. It is necessary to provide the reader with a clear reference or source, as this gives the reader more reason to believe that the article is true and reliable. In terms of providing appropriate and reliable sources, I think this article has done a good job.

In conclusion, after I found the article I was interested in on Wikipedia, I read it again and again and evaluated it in three aspects: Structure, Age and Citations. This article has some shortcomings, such as it needs to provide more complete content and updated sources, but there are also some positive aspects as it provides sources for many details.
