I learned something interesting today. I did not know Wikipedia's software automatically creates a table of contents. As I created three plus head sections it was automatically created. One of my classmates actually confirmed this. I was unaware of this information until I looked at that classmates' post. Moreover, for this week's journal entry we were assigned to choose a topic of our choice and comment on at least one other student's post. I decided to let Wikipedia choose my article for me. Wikipedia randomly generated this article.  My assessment of the article is that it is a disappointment. The article needs some expanding. It lacked a lot of quality information. The article is about Alexander Gavrilov. Many of you have probably never heard of him, and neither did I. In order to make this individual more well-known I decided to do a little research. For starters, I did a quick google search. The only information I could find is the information on this website and it was basically the same information that was on the Wikipedia page. Next, I did a google scholar search and looked through some of the databases. I came up with no results. After reexamining the article, it seems to be a stub page. More than likely it will continue to be as such. In order to solve this problem we would need court records from his mother country. There is not much information about him on the web. All we know is that Alexander Gavrilov was a Russian literary critic and editor. [1]

@ AmaniSensei: Excellent post Amani! It's so cool to find so many small quality of life features implemented into the editing process of Wikipedia. I am still finding some as I work, which I expect everyone is! The Alexander Gavrilov article sounds like a very interesting case. What I attempted to do was to see if the Russian version of the Wikipedia page had more information, and it surely did. Alexander F. Gavrilov's page in his language is full of sources and information. However, the only method of seeing the information is through the use of Google Translate on that page, making it unreliable for use on the English variation. Perhaps if the sources cited are translated by a professional and provided for English audiences the article could be improved. As for now though, it does seem impossible for any advancement of the page's information. 1-800-OWLZ ( talk) 21:22, 23 June 2019 (UTC)
