Tutorial 1 (Week 3) OLES2129 - Activity 2:

I have chosen the Wikipedia page for the author China Mieville. The 46 year old British author has vowed to write a novel in every genre and his Wikipedia page shows that. One problem I find (not just on China's page but on many authors pages) is the lack of description and images regarding their published work. As what they have written is what has made them famous it is peculiar to only include imagery of the author and not of any of his fiction and non-fiction works. Furthermore, to not include a short description of at least some of his more well known novels and the reception from his works as some of his works are considered to be quite abstract or plain weird such as the fiction novella "The Last Days of New Paris" (2016). Having short blurbs would allow for people to more easily get to know China and his novels as the information would all be in one place. Another thing I would change is the main image of China that is used. One thing that can be annoying when searching up a celebrity or a well-known person is when an old photo is used as they could look very different now. The image used for China was taken in 2010, which is almost ten years ago so a more recent image would be appropriate.
