=== Wikipedia is a great website you can get pretty solid information so my (MaSarda) goal and the main use for Wikipedia is to gather as much information as I can from it. Check if any of the information stems from a solid source and correct any information that might be misrepresented or false. ===

When browsing through Wikipedia I searched "Incubus" thinking the band from the early 2000s would appear, but to my surprise folklore of a demon appears. When looking through related subjects and different folklore I stumbled upon Doppelgängers. From my previous understanding, A doppelganger is someone who looks like you even though they have no relation. But When I read through the Doppelgänger article on Wikipedia, I'd like to talk about the examples: The structure of the page, Nonfiction examples, and fictional examples.

The structure of this wiki page is well put together, It's fluid from one subject to the next. It's a nice linear progression from basic mythology and spelling to scientific applications. They also do an excellent job at providing the resources this wiki supplies the reader such as hyperlinks that can send the reader to another website with information about evil twins. Citing their sources is another strong point of this wiki. It has proper MLA format and has plenty of sources to pull from including other wiki page users.

The nonfiction section of this wiki is interesting. I enjoy the specific examples they chose because they all share similar traits to each story. They all explore themes such as death and grief where the doppelgangers are shown after the death of a loved one or being on the precipice of death. After some time I realized that every example recorded on this wiki is recorded by an Author or a poet. John Donne is used as an example in this wiki and John is considered to be a metaphorical poet. That brings up the question: are all of the examples here just stories or metaphors used to describe one's self-reflection? That would explain why they are seeing themselves or their loved ones in a dim light. That's because they have regrets and inner insecurities or “demons”. Again I'd like to emphasize the resources this wiki supplies its reader. You can easily get sucked down a rabbit hole, they give you where every piece of information was sited from which is fantastic for deeper readings.

Starting with Literature was a pleasant stepping stone going into the nonfiction section. It was laid out nicely. It also gives us a surplus of examples such as 'How I met your mother' and 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer '. When reading through examples I noticed movies and tv shows were cited In MLA format the same way as you would sight a website. And from here we have external reading links, and scientific applications where it shows and compares doppelgangers and look-alikes which is a pleasant add-on.

The German folklore of an “evil twin” or a “double spirit” is a frightening concept. The cultural phenomenon and representation of doppelgangers can bring some really scary stories and television. The doppelganger wiki page does an amazing job representing the lore, real-life personal experiences, and examples in Television and entertainment. The wiki page also has an amazing structure, external links, and resources. Overall the doppelganger wiki page was a pleasant wiki to stumble upon.
