About Me

edit

Welcome to my page, somethings I enjoy are fashion, I love to research fashion, new trends, and new styles. I love to shop for my friends, family and other people, that is something I do for work too. I love to sew and make new pieces to wear out. I like fashion is an amazing way of expressing themselves, you can tell a lot about a person from how they dress and present themselves in clothing, jewelry and accessories. Some more things about me is I have played many sports from elementary school up until high school. I played soccer, gymnastics, basketball, volleyball, sideline cheer/ all star competitive cheer, swim. I am currently not playing any sports but I go to the gym a lot. The things I spend my time doing is going to school and working, that takes up a lot of my time. When I am not doing those thing, I like to spend time with my family/ friends and be spontaneous, I also like meeting new people.

My Wikipedia Interests

edit

My Wikipedia interests are horses, horses are really useful animals, they are used for a lot of thing, such as riding, competing, transporting items and people. One cool fact I learnt about horses are, "horses are able to sleep both standing up and lying down, with younger horses tending to sleep significantly more than adults."[1]

Article Evaluation

edit

Frederick & Nelson

edit

I visited the Frederick & Nelson article on Wikipedia and found three aspects of it worth commenting on: are there any dead links in the article, are the citations as current as possible, Is the article itself neutral? Frederick and Nelson were a department store that was originated in Seattle, but it is no longer in business. With that being said, the Wikipedia article about this topic seems like nobody is keeping up with it since the department store no longer exists.

edit

The article Frederick & Nelson seems like nobody has edited or improved the article since 2018. If you click on the links to, Donald E. Frederick and James Mecham; the founders of Frederick & Nelson, Wikipedia directs you to another page that says, "The article that you're looking for doesn't exist." The same goes for every single citation that is listed, all the links direct you to another page that says, "The article that you're looking for doesn't exist."

Citations

edit

There a seven different references, but only two are still working websites. The first reference is "Frederick & Nelson closes 2 stores"[2], and the second reference is "Bon Marche acquires Frango rights"[3]. These two articles are from a very long time ago. When you click on the two articles an old news paper comes up and you have to zoom into the text to read it. The first citation was mention in the Wikipedia article on October 3, 1986, the second on October 7, 1991. Those two articles have a lot of information discussing the topic of why the store closed down. The article does have "further links" to talk more about separate topics.

Neutral Article

edit

The article Frederick & Nelson is pretty neural with a few negative comments but nothing too bias. It talks about how the business came to be, why it did not succeed, some back story, and the people who started it all. In the article, there is a little bit of negative things spoken about the creators being "flaky" with some of the product they were coming out with. The Frederick & Nelson article does claim that the company had, "poor management decisions led to an overabundance of lower-priced, out-of-season merchandise and large investments in inventory at the wrong prices."[4] These are some reasons to why Frederick and Nelson did not last too long.

Conclusion

edit

The article Frederick and Nelson has not been up to date since 2018, but there is not too much you can update an article with if the company does not exist anymore. Even through most of the links are dead, there are some links to newspapers that have a lot of information on it. The newspapers are very old, so they are not up to date since 1990's. The article did not state really any bias information, mostly just factual research. This are the three aspects worth commenting on.
