About me

I am a running start student currently enrolled in classes at Everett community college. I enjoy computer science and mathematics in school, but at home, I enjoy coding, playing video games, and listing to audiobooks through services like Audible. People who listen to books gain the same understanding and knowledge as those who read books. Personally, I prefer fiction over nonfiction. Other things about me, I own a small cat and a dog.

My Wikipedia interests

If I'm active on Wikipedia in the future, I will mainly focus on small errors or add to articles on topics that I care about. This account will be used primarily for school purposes.

Article Evaluation

I have been programing in Processing for a few years. It was the first language I learned and is the language I use the most. I want Wikipedia coverage of it to be the best it can be so, I visited the Processing (programming language) article on Wikipedia, and found three aspects of it worth commenting on: its list of features, its lack of citations, and its unfinished history.

Features

Most Wikipedia articles about programming languages go into great depths on the features of the languages. They list all their statements and library. They explain all the expressions and mathematic operators. The features list on the Processing (programming language) article only describes a few features exclusive to Processing. Processing is built on Java, so its list of features wouldn't have to be as in-depth as other languages, but it still should describe more of its unique features in greater depth.

Citations

There are a few citations, but I feel there could be more. The page has a good size references section. Many of the sources cited aren't the most reliable, and there are a lot of facts that don't have a citation to back them up.

History

The history section on this page has three sentences on the creation of Processing, and the rest is dedicated to the history of its URL. There's no mention of future updates to the language. This section could use an overhaul and should be extended.

Conclusion

Overall, I would say that this is an ok article for what it is. The information it provides is accurate info, but it could use a few more sources to back up its claims. This page's main problem is its size. It needs to go into greater depth of Processing's continued development and Processing unique features and syntax as a programing language.
