“The Analysis of Beauty”

Wikipedia is merely an open work encyclopedia, often criticized for its constructive flaws and lack of reliability. It contains a broad spectrum of accumulative ideas developed over time. Editors from around the world congregate by allocating credible information on transforming their article of interest into a more reliable source. I visited “The Analysis of Beauty” page on Wikipedia, and found three aspects of it worth commenting on Insufficient inline citations, Unclear sources, and the lack of accurate external links. I was quite skeptical after reading the Wikipedia article about the analysis of beauty. And how it was subjected to a single-source point of view. As I read the article, I noticed that its main introduction was brief and could use updated information about the publisher and the topic. There were a couple quotes mentioned such as “grim campaign against fashionable taste” and “war with the Connoisseurs” that needed citations to provide a valid explanation. The Inline quotes were originally from the book itself but no citations were present. I searched about the quotations and found other credible links that could be added on the citation insert. Therefore, I entered the needed citations and added it into the external links below the article. The concept of beauty always had its controversy. A subject of debate that challenges everyone’s perceptual ideas of what is pleasing and satisfying to their naked eye. In the article, Hogarth implemented his reasoning through his own theory of the line of beauty and came up with six principals. He exemplifies his concept through fitness, variety, regularity, simplicity, intricacy, and quantity. But the article failed to provide refined sources that clearly state his argument. It also contained a limited number of sources creating a limited approach. This article can be generated effectively with more sources helping to provide a clearer understanding of the topic. The use of external links is another issue I came across with on The Analysis of Beauty page. The links used, in the article, failed to fit the criteria of credible resources. After clicking every link provided, I noticed that they all lead to a web of other Wikipedia articles. And some of these pages are undeveloped. Researching, I acquired reputable links from the internet that I used to replace all the unreliable links on the article. I was also able to revise some of the article's structure to make a more organized presentation of the page. In conclusion, the fact that a topic over a specific subject can be summarized doesn’t make every article accurate on a Wikipedia page. Choosing a topic requires a descriptive explanation for a clear understanding on what you’re executing. Articles on Wikipedia are developed over time and requires constant changes for improvement. When working on a less developed article, it’s essential to follow the important guidelines of Wikipedia. It is important to provide sufficient sources and citations. Always remember that precision is crucial for any topic. The more reliable resources it contains, the more readers would show interest on your topic.
