About Me
Hello there! I’m a hiker and musician that is obsessed with funk music. I love to slap bass, and my favorite music group is Vulfpeck. I commonly hike trails in the Pacific Northwest and enjoy climbing trees. I also like eating insects, such as ants and grasshoppers. Bugs are great sources of protein.

My Wikipedia Interests
I use Wikipedia in an English 101 class to complete assignments and learn about the functions and rules of Wikipedia. At the moment I am not very involved with Wikipedia. I would someday like to make Wikipedia pages for bassists like Davide Biale that had an impact on the music industry.

Article Evaluation
My favorite body style of bass is the Ibanez Iceman. This body style is used for both bass and guitar. I love this style so much I built my own custom Ibanez ICB200 Iceman bass. I care deeply about this body style so I was curious to see how well the Wikipedia page covered the topic. I visited the Ibanez Iceman page on Wikipedia, and found three aspects of it worth commenting on: Its lack of any mention of the bass body style variant, its lack of citations, and its many dead links.

Ibanez Bass
As I read through the article I noticed that there is not a single sentence regarding the bass style variant of the Ibanez Iceman. The bass plays an important role in the history of the Ibanez Iceman and is commonly used in metal or rock music. I found it strange that the article mentioned more obscure things about the Ibanez Iceman such as the Ibanez Fireman model but failed to include the Ibanez Iceman bass.

Links
There are many dead links on the page. When trying to fact check the writer’s sources I noticed many of the links such as the one listed for the Ibanez store page is no longer available. Also, one link seems entirely out of place and leads to a guitar tabs website.

Conclusion
I think that the article as a whole is very poorly made and lacks many key components of what makes a good Wikipedia article. It has a distinct lack of sources, so while the article has lots of information it doesn't have enough credible sources to back up its claims. The article also has no mention of Ibanez Iceman bass guitars which makes the history of the body style incomplete.
