About me
I was born and raised in Seattle, Washington. I am currently a student studying elementary education at a local college. Some of my hobbies are camping, music, and spending time with friends and family. I also have a dog named Niles after the character in a household favorite, Frasier.

My wikipedia interests
In one of my current courses we are learning how to operate and incorporate wikipedia so that's where most of my interests lie. Besides that, I use wikipedia to research different topics and hopefully I'll eventually be able to create my own page for others to source and research!

Article Evaluation
I've watched Dance Moms since I was a little girl and although it didn't spark any desire to become a dancer, I've seen every episode multiple times, so I'd like to think I'm knowledgeable on the whole show. I visited the Dance Moms article on Wikipedia and found three aspects worth commenting on: unnecessary information, lack of citations, and slight grammar mistakes.

Unnecessary information
The Dance Moms Wikipedia page is packed with info about the show's history, cast, and episodes. Yet, it occasionally includes unnecessary details like personal controversies between the dancers or minor incidents that don't add much to the main story. For example, discussions about specific fights among cast members or trivial backstage events might be more than what someone seeking essential information needs. Simplifying the page by emphasizing the more important moments, such as the show's production, its impact, and the viewer’s receptions, would make it easier for readers to find the most important details without getting distracted by less significant or gossip-like content.

Lack of citations
Another thing I noticed is the occasional absence of proper citations for certain information. Some details, like claims about behind the scenes events or specific controversies, may lack clear references. When there aren’t citations, it can make it difficult for readers to verify the accuracy of the information. Making sure that all significant details are properly sourced with reliable references would enhance the page's credibility and allow readers to trust the accuracy of the content provided.

Slight grammar mistakes
Lastly, there are occasional minor grammar mistakes that can be observed. These errors, like typos or punctuation issues might affect the overall readability and professionalism of the article. Instances where sentence structures could be improved or where words are not used in the correct context may be present. A thorough proofreading and editing process to address these subtle grammar issues would contribute to a more polished and user-friendly Wikipedia page, ensuring that the information is presented in a clear and error-free way for readers.

Conclusion
In short, the Dance Moms Wikipedia page has a lot of info, but it could be better. It talks about things that don't really matter, like personal fights, making it confusing. If it focused more on important stuff, like how the show is made and its impact, it would be easier to understand. Adding where the info comes from would make it more trustworthy. Lastly, fixing small grammar mistakes is important so it looks better. Overall, these changes would make the Dance Moms Wikipedia page clearer and more reliable for everyone.
