Proposal

I am working on Rod Waves Wikipedia article. Rod Wave is a popular hip-hop/ rap/ R&B artist from Florida. What I plan on doing it working on the structure of the article. The article is very poorly organized. It is all bunched together and short. Meanwhile, Rod Waves career has been no where near short. He has been on a good career stretch since 2019 till now and for his Wikipedia article to be bunched up to only about 2-4 paragraphs is crazy. As well as it being updated, I think the article has not been recently updated. He does not have any information on his concerts. He recently went on tour around the United States. Apparently, he sold out each and every location he went to. I personally went to the concert this past November. There is no information or pictures of his concerts. I would be able to add my experience of his Beautiful Mind tour.

Draft

Adding info about the Beautiful Mind Tour

Once the Beautiful Mind album was released by Rod Wave he went on tour in various locations across the United States. All the way from Pittsburgh PA to Minneapolis MN, to Los Angeles CA, etc. While on tour Rod Wave had two other artist Toosi and Mariah the Scientist. Toosi and Mariah the Scientist opened for Rod Wave through out the tour. Although it was the Beautiful Mind tour Rod Wave tap into some of his older music and previous songs that were not on the album. Wave made it very clear that the older songs were apart of the show. He did not perform all of the songs on the Beautiful Mind album shocking the audience.

Adding Info about his most recent music

In November of 2023 Rod Wave released an EP (a shorter version of an album) called Jupiter’s Diary: 7 Day Theory. On the EP Rod Wave only has eight tracks on it. He caught his supporters by surprise when he announced that he would be releasing new music while on tour. With hit song Break My Heart reaching number 76 on the Billboard charts.

Creating Subheadings

I plan to add what is above to the Wikipedia page. I also plan on reorganizing the page. I would add sub headings for each album Wave has released and putting the information that is already on the Wikipedia page where it would belong. The page is very well written, but it is very clumpy. All the information is sectioned into one heading within 3-4 paragraphs wrapping up his entire career from 2018-2023.

Adding Pictures from his show

I also want to add pictures from the Beautiful Mind Tour that I took on my phone when Rod Wave performed in Pittsburgh PA. I was not sure if I should also include the pictures that I took of the other two artist that performed on tour with Rod Wave. Toosi and Mariah the scientist were on tour the entire time with Rod Wave so I did now if that was important enough to include in Rod Wave’s Wikipedia page.
