About Me
My name is Maya-Lynn but I prefer to be called Maya. I enjoy doing a lot of things, for example going on walks with my dog, I enjoy hanging out with my friends and family, I love trying new foods., and exploring new things and places. Some would say that exploring new places is a cool adventure that could be a good new hobby that's refreshing and eventful. I also enjoy listening to music, it tends to always put me in a good mood no matter what. I like a lot of different types of genres but my favorite is hip hop and R&B. And believe it or not you can say that I am a gamer. For the most part of my day you will find me on my game. So that is just some stuff I enjoy doing but about me.. I know that I am very quiet and shy. But I am a very nice and respectful person. And when I am comfortable, people say that I am outgoing, funny, but very caring as well.

My Wikipedia Interests
My interests related to wikipedia is that whenever I want to find information about a person wether it is a celebrity or a just very important person, I would use Wikipedia. Wikipedia has enlighten me on facts of people and what they do and learn more about that person. And Wikipedia does not only give information of people but places and events too. It's an public resource and a encyclopedia that is very well known. To be apart of something so huge as Wikipedia would be a very cool and fun thing to do. I hope to accomplish a better understanding of wikipedia and to gain experience and learn new things.

Article Evaluation
Dieting is something that many people do to become healthy and either lose weight or gain weight. A diet is "A special course of food to which one restricts oneself, either to lose weight or for medical reasons." So people eat certain foods, watching how much calories, cholesterol, and carbs are in the food that they put in their body to know what it will do. The article I have chosen to evaluate is titled "Dieting" and it talks about different diets and what each one does for the consumers body, I found three aspects of it worth commenting on: citations, structure, and Age.

The citations on this article are all listed at the very bottom of the wikipedia page but the author has numbered each citation and also put little numbers after each fact or researched statement to specify what citation goes with each fact, so that is a big plus in my opinion. I've looked through all of the citations and they all look like live URL's, although there was a number of them that wouldn't load, I am not sure if it's a dead URL or maybe there is too much data on the page, but the ones that wouldn't load for me were the PDF links so maybe there was a lot of data on the link. So for structure, there were some parts of the article that just didn't have enough information on them. For example, there was one point in the article under "types of dieting" titled "Low-carbohydrates." There is only one sentence under this point and it only states what a low-carbohydrate diet is, this is a negative in my opinion because it does not state what a low-carbohydrate diet does to your diet. As far as the age of this article and the citations go, the article was last edited on June 6th, 2020, and the very first citation is labeled "2015–2020 Dietary Guidelines for Americans - health.gov." So this article looks like its updated frequently.

In conclusion, this article is pretty legitimate, the citations are up to date, it is very informational, although some points could be elaborated a little more, and also most if not all of the facts in this article is backed up with a citation.
