Hello, welcome to my user page. My name is Hussain Morsi and I'm 20 years old, some of the things I'll be mentioning here are some specific activities or pastimes I enjoy in my daily life. Cooking has evolved into one of my favorite pleasures, especially now that I've started learning how to do it, all because of my family. My older brother was the one who initially introduced me to the fundamentals, simple dishes like "Buffalo wings" or "Teriyaki Chicken with rice." But my mother was the one who truly aided me in honing my abilities. She has a ton of culinary expertise, and I learned how to create some of my favorite foods from her. I vividly recall how delighted I was when my family enjoyed the supper I served them for the first time. I now use cooking as a creative outlet and a method to show my loved ones how much I care. I am grateful to my family for encouraging my passion for cooking and for the many delectable dinners we have enjoyed together.

As for my interests relating to Wikipedia, I find the history of Ancient Rome to be utterly fascinating. Romans are credited with a number of ground-breaking inventions and accomplishments, including an incredible network of roads and technical marvels like the aqueducts. It is astounding to consider how they were able to construct such magnificent monuments so many centuries ago. The Roman Empire was a really powerful force in its era due to its fame for art, architecture, and military might. Who could forget the spectacular conflicts the gladiators fought in the arena, of course? There were a number of other gladiator classifications, but the retiarius stood out the most. The skill needed to fight with only a net and trident for protection really increased the stakes. I feel privileged to be able to research their history and gain knowledge from their numerous accomplishments because the ancient Romans were definitely a magnificent people.

Article Evaluation

For my article evaluation, I chose to evaluate articles pertaining to the music industry. I've been looking into the inner workings of the music industry for a long time. Seeing how they produce their music, corrupt artists, and influence the market. I visited the aptly named "Music Industry" article on Wikipedia and found three aspects worth commenting on: record labels, individual artists, and influence in culture.

Record Labels

First of all, this article caught my attention. The history, functions, and difficulties of record labels are all thoroughly and systematically covered in the "Record label" article on Wikipedia. The article was most recently updated on October 25, 2021, indicating that it is essentially current. However, some parts of the article might benefit from more recent information to reflect current trends and changes given the fast-paced nature of the music industry. The article presents information in a factual manner without expressing any personal beliefs or prejudices, and it does so in a manner that is neutral and unbiased throughout. When appropriate, different points of view are presented without using subjective language. A sizable number of reliable sources, including books, journals, and news items, are cited in the article. The majority of the sources cited were published during the last ten years, making them the most recent sources. However, some sections of the article, especially those that present contentious information or make important claims, could use more citations. The citations are reliable, but some of them might be out-of-date because the music business is constantly evolving and changing.

Individual Artist

This article is extremely current as it was most recently updated on April 22, 2023. The list is up to date because it contains data on sales through the end of 2022. The focus on individual artists and their assets is key in this article as it focuses solely on the sales and distribution of music. The material is presented in a factual manner without bias in the article and maintains a neutral stance on individual artists whether they are deemed controversial or not. The article avoids using subjective language and the list is based on certified sales data and certifications. A sizable number of reliable sources, including record labels, associations for the music business, and news reports, are cited in the article. The vast majority of the materials cited, which are the most current sources, were released during the past decade. The article also makes mention of the official certification bodies in several nations, including the BPI in the UK and the RIAA in the United States. Overall, the citations are credible and current, and the arguments are made in the article. For those interested in the music industry and the commercial success of artists, the Wikipedia article on "List of best-selling music artists" is a useful resource. The article's fair, unbiased tone is maintained throughout, and the list is based on independently confirmed sales data and certifications. The article's assertions are supported by reputable and up-to-date citations, making it an authoritative source of data.

Cultural Influence

This article is one of my favorites to read because of its vivid and vibrant assortment of other cultures; I believe that this article truly shows respect where it is due. The article contains various different cultures from around the world, and each culture has a link to a separate Wikipedia article that details the rich culture and community around it. As for the links themselves, I did, unfortunately, find 6 "dead links" leading to a very unorganized and sloppy article that undoubtedly falters its credibility. On the word of credibility, the article's citations, namely the individual links for the cultures, are solely reliant on Wikipedia, with no outside links to bolster the article's credibility. In essence, this article does have its fair share of work that still needs to be done on it, but still puts a very good effort into spurring the endeavor and pursuit of cultural knowledge within the music industry.

Conclusion

The music industry has many components that I have yet to learn, yet the information on Wikipedia truly gave me an insight into the music industry. The base for the distribution of music with the use of record labels really opened my eyes to how complex managing different artists is, as well as the beginning of music production as a whole. As for the inner workings of the music industry, each artist carries a specific vibe and flow about themselves. Some garnering a cult following, others, a community of people who can simply bond over their sound. In all honesty, my favorite part of this evaluation was the in-depth look into the groundwork of music, human culture in its most raw and unfiltered form. The ways artists take inspiration from different cultures truly makes for an unforgettable experience.
