About Me

I am a current student who loves to cook/bake, play volleyball, and go to church. Baking is one of the first to-go hobbies that I go to when bored. I like to try new recipes, get new ideas from YouTube and Pinterest, and sometimes think of new ideas on my own.  Another hobby I have is volleyball. Though I am not the best at it, it is something I do enjoy. Lastly, I love to go to church. My faith plays a really big role in who I am. Jesus truly changed my life, and I am forever thankful for that. Church is also like my second home. Church brings a community. Having a community of people is a way I can get encouraged and encourage others.

My Wikipedia Interests:

I will mainly focus on tweaking things here and there. Topics that are related to baking as well as text that has the Russian language in it. I want to contribute to correcting spelling errors/ making phrases and sentences more understandable. As a volunteer, I hope to help people better understand the text written on Wikipedia.

Article Evaluation

I grew up eating a lot of Russian/Ukrainian food. In my teen years, I fell in love with baking. One Russian/Ukrainian dessert that I have baked is pryaniki. Knowing a bit about this dessert, I decided to make it my choice of subject. I visited the pryanik article on Wikipedia, and found three aspects of it worth commenting on: the lack of expansion on the different types of pryaniki, it is not 100% neutral, and lastly, the lack of proper citation and reliable sources.

One section that needs more expansion is the kinds of pryaniki that are out there. The sources used only mention one type of pryanik: the Tula pryanik. I grew up eating a different variation of pryanik. This type of pryanik is individually sized (roughly a serving size of a small biscuit) and is the one that shows up more often when googled pryaniki.This kind of pryanik is not mentioned in the article.

Another issue with this article is that there is a biased claim. It stated that the ingredient ginger is optional. It is a bias claim because it can differ from person to person depending on preferred taste or liking. The article had two sources attached to this claim. After doing a quick search, neither had the words ginger nor gingerbread written in them.

The biggest problem is the lack of trusted sources and no sources for the facts stated. There are two sources listed. After scanning through them, I could not find sources attached to them. On top of that, the article states facts without stating a source. These factors make this article untrustworthy.

From reading the pryanik article, I would say that it is not a good source for information about pryaniki. The information provided is limited, it has a biased claim, and lastly, it is missing reliable sources.
