User:Wobblingpenguin/Article Critique

= Article Critique = I visited the reed (mouthpiece) page on Wikipedia, and found three aspects of it worth commenting on: citations, completeness, and grammar/voice.

Completeness
I feel that this article is missing a very important topic within it, history. This article does not cover the history of reed at all. It mostly talks about the different types of reeds there are. And in the different instrument each reed is used for. I feel that this article should talk about how the reeds have changed over the past years. From people making their own to people now buying them form retail music shops.

Grammar/voice
The way this article decribes the reeds can be very confusing. When I read how this article decribed how the reed makes noise, I had to read it over a second time due to some of the complex words that are mixed in with what I feel is a regular tone. There are much easier ways to explain how the reed vibrate to create their sounds.

Summary
After looking at this article, I rate it an "okay." Some of the sites are good for those who are just learnig abour reeds, but more reliable and information based sites can be added. THis is a good introduction into reeds, yet more information about their history can also be added. And the way it explains form of the reeds can be more so that the words flow easier with each other na dnot make the reader condused.

(sidenote: As part of this assignment, I aslo poasted a question on the talk page of the reeds (mouthpiece) page here
