About me
My name is Taylor, and I am currently 23 years old. My hobbies include watching the many streaming services I have access to such as Hulu, Netflix, YouTube, and Disney+. I enjoy playing board games with friends; amongst my favorites are Monopoly, Risk, Jenga, Cribbage, and Charades. I have a Black Labrador Retriever named Dalila, whom I love dearly and she is the "Queen of Attention" in our house. Fun fact Labrador retrievers life expectancy is between "10-12 years" but Dalila is 13 and still going strong.

My Wikipedia interests
What I choose to accomplish by being a volunteer on Wikipedia is learning how to find credible sources to make articles better as well as helping me advance my writing and research skills. Some topics I would like to explore are European history specifically King Henry VIII, his life, rule, his many marriages, and affairs.

Article evaluation
I have always had an interest in animation and fictional characters. I visited the "Shrek (character)" article on Wikipedia, and found three aspects of it worth commenting on: citations, age, and article completeness.

Age
The article hasn't been updated since April,1,2020. it's not completely out of date but most other pages I visited had been updated more recently.

Article completeness
under the reception and other media appearances, they mention how Shrek is an unlockable character in Tony Hawk's underground 2 and a playable character in Madagascar Kartz and DreamWorks Super Star Kartz. But they do fail to mention that Shrek did have his own video game on the PlayStation one called Shrek's treasure hunt. In said game, you had to do tasks such as collecting onions for a picnic, mini-games, and challenges. there are also other installations in the Shrek video game series this one was one of the first that I ever had for my PlayStation when I was a child.

Summary

Overall I did like the article and learned a few fascinating facts about Shrek like how he made an appearance in the 2014 Rocky and Bullwinkle short and how Steven Spielberg initially wanted to cast Bill Murry but DreamWorks had hired Chris Farley and only after Farley's passing did Mike Myers get the role of Shrek. I also don't blame them for not including Shrek's treasure hunt for the PlayStation one it was a terrible game but we can't sweep all terrible things under the rug, it is still part of this lovable Ogre's history.
