Bio
editAbout Me
editMy name is Sahbriah but I prefer Briah. I enjoy playing sports and being active. I use to participate in Track and Field, Wrestling and boxing. I also enjoy nature quite a bit. Being in nature is an escape, which also ties in with my spirituality. You can't tell me meditating in a forest wouldn't be so peaceful and free. I'm starting to get into rock climbing, and I hike almost every other week. While being outside and engaged with nature, I'm almost always taking pictures of everything.
My Wikipedia Interests
editMy relations to Wikipedia is very little. Every-time I think of Wikipedia all that comes to mind is an unreliable website. I've never used Wiki because I knew people could change information on the pages, and it never came to mind that I could edit wrong information to make it more reliable. Now that I've learned more about Wiki in class, it interests me to find things I'm passionate or interested about and do more research to edit wrong information on the pages.
Article Evaluation
editTrack and Field has played a big part in my life. I have participated in Track and Field throughout middle school and high school. I always looked up to Florence Griffith Joyner, a famous Olympic runner. I'd like to have Griffiths Wikipedia page to be as credible as possible, I visited the Florence Griffith Joyner page; and i'd like to talk about their citations, elaboration on information and overall page structure.
Citations
editThere are many citations for this Wikipedia article. Most of the citations are from articles that haven't been updated in years, but there are also some citations that have been updated within the year. Having Griffith passed away at 38 years young , it is understandable to have older articles, but for those older articles you cannot see the information being stopped by a 'subscription' page pop up. The citations that are available without a subscription are credible.
Elaboration
editThey did a great job on information overall, but there should be more information on her personal life. It could use some more detail on her early life, as well as more information explain her personal life
Page Structure
editThe page structure for this article is very organized. Toward the end of the article you'll find charts and records from Florences' running times and placings in her races. They not only include Florences' records but they have runner up records to compare as well.
Conclusion
editOverall, I rate this page good and resourceful. It goes over aspects from her hardships with school and legacy. I'd like to see more details about her personal life, which could include why she chose Track and Field as a sport, to what made her marry Al Joyner instead of Greg Foster.
