1.) Lake Almanor My grandpa built a cabin on this lake in Northern California 55 years ago, when my mom was just a baby. I have grown up spending time at Lake Almanor since I was born as well, and it is my favorite place on earth. I think the Wikipedia article covers the facts about the history of the lake and briefly mentions what surrounds it, but the article definitely needs section on the many recreational activities the lake has to offer.

2.) Arcata High School I attended Arcata High for most of my high school career. While this article goes a good job of covering all the aspects of the school (size, clubs, sports, etc.) I think it is lacking in the history of the school, and I could contribute more information to that. It could also use a photo of the school.

3.) Factory farming I recently did an argumentative research paper on Factory Farming and feel I am well-informed about this topic. The article is very informative but I think there could be additional information about how the commodification of animals as "units of production" has influenced the factory farm business and also about recent developments in laws and court cases regarding factory farming.

4.) Bayside, California This is the tiny town I grew up in my entire life in the house my parents built when they moved to the area as newlyweds. It's a very small area so there's not too much to say about it, but I think the article fails to talk about Baywood Golf and Country Club which is a main attraction. It is also way too informal for a Wikipedia Encyclopedia articled and reflects the focus of the person who wrote it. (A lot of attention for Hank's and also calling someone a "sexy engineer") This is not appropriate because people want to learn facts about the area, not someone's informal description.

5.) Triathlons I traveled the country competing in triathlons on the local and national level throughout my youth,and was third in the nation for a while. I spent a ton of time training and this sport was my life for a long time, so I feel I am an expert on this subject. I think the article could use a section on the youth triathon circuit, top triathletes over the years, and it fails to include the importance of "transition" in describing how one completes a triathlon.

Wikipedia Assignment 2: Edit to one of 5 pages
On the Arcata High School page, there is great information on the school, but I would add a photo of the school under the summary sentence. I would also insert an link in the "External Links" section of the article so readers can view Arcata High's "Annual Report to the Community" which details valuable information such as class size, disciplinary incidences, test scores, demographics, teacher training, and dropout/graduation rates.
