Article Review

I visited the The Story So Far (band) page on Wikipedia, and found three aspects of it worth commenting on: it's lack of completeness, it's lack of history, and its lack of reliable sources.

Completeness

I noticed when reading the page it was fairly underdeveloped. All of the information on the band is put into roughly three paragraphs, which to me does not seem like enough information. It also mentions the bands record label Pure Noise Records but fails to go in depth on anything about them, possibly it could have been better that they gave a small history on the label? It just does not seem to me as if there was a whole lot of effort put in to writing this wiki, i think it needs more work, which brings me to my second part of the critique.

History

Now, they do give a brief explanation on the bands history. The writers talk about where they were formed, why the band has its name, etc. But my issue is similar to the ones i had in my completeness portion of the critique. I don't see much information on possibly what inspired the band to start singing and making music, which i think is an issue. Also, i noticed that while they do give a history and explanation of the albums they have written, i don't see much information on each one of them. To me it looks like its just a brief summary, less of a wiki page. I would rather see them split up each album and write as much as they possibly can on each one to make the article feel more "rich."

Sources

Well, of course a wiki page is only as good as it's sources right? Well, i have always listened to this style of music but as we talked about in class ".com" can sometimes be an unreliable source. All the links are in tact, but it seems that every link i clicked on took me to a ".com." this raises some concerns about the motivation, and reliability of each of these sources. I also noticed a lot of links in the wiki are all back to more wiki pages? Maybe it would be better to link in some outside sources, like possibly a link to the actual website for their label instead of the wiki page. Overall, the page is not terrible, but i think it needs work.
