Article Evaluation
I read through the page "1st United States Colored Infantry". Right of the bat I noticed that the leader section was extremely lacking, it was composed of one sentence. In fact, all of the sections of the page were lacking in information. Another thing that stood out to me was the fact that the entire page was based off of only one source.

Article Evaluation: Shima Mehri
The page I read was Shima Mehri. The page itself was well written and had little to no grammatical errors. The page is basically a bibliography about her and while I knew nothing about her before reading this page, this page introduced me to who she is, even though it was relatively short.

Article Evaluation: Public Corporation
The first page I was brought to was a disambiguation page. On that page was a list of three options from there I clicked on the "Public Company" page. This page was not a stub, the page itself was pretty well laid out and lengthy with a lot of good information. While this page did have multiple sources there was a flag on the page saying that it still needed additional sources and verification.

Article Proposal
For my Wikipage I am going to be adopting the page Psychology of learning. I have selected this article because there is hardly anything on this page and I believe I could tie it into a global issue by writing about the psychology of learning in different countries. Due to the sheer lack of information on this page I will be adding everything from the basic definition to psychology specifics.

The #MeToo movement recently turned a year old. Through this past year it has been made evident that this movement has many followers and supporters. Through the years the views on things such as the #MeToo movement have been changing and finding the balance between those being accused and those accusing is what is going to be key.

As the number of people in the world rises it is safe to say that the amount of trash is rising too. The Economist says "The World Bank predicts the annual pile could grow 70 percent by 2050." Such large amounts of trash are not pleasing to see and are also a health risk. If trash is not collected on a regular basis things like diarrhea and respiratory infections could occur more often.

Some countries are selling passports and citizenship. This could be a touchy subject as some people feel it should be a privilege granted only to people who show themselves worth of it.

Brett Kavanaugh's recent Supreme Court election has raised many concerns from many people. The accusations of sexual assault are one reason, however, it is also believed that he lied under oath and his strong words towards the democratic party are cause for questioning.

Italy has been dealing with the effects of financial crisis for some time now and it appears that they are unable to pull themselves out of it. According to The Economist "Some 10% are out of work; 20% live on less than €10,000 ($11,500) a year." There are plans to make and enforce a budget, however, people are skeptical considering the past.

There was hope in Cape Town, the murder rates were falling steadily but that recently changed again. The murder rates are climbing again and people are attributing this to the plethora of gangs, the violence "vibe" and the large amounts of guns.
