When introduced to the Wikipedia stubs I was interested. When browsing them I was shocked because I had no idea how many popular items' articles were unfinished, such as the Boston Cream Pie and Disney's Wedding Pavillion. and I didn't anticipate how difficult it would be to find reliable information on a stub to be able to improve it. In some cases it just didn't seem like they could be improved. I first started looking at musicians, assuming I would be able to find one without any elaborate information and submit that to their Wikipedia page. I found a musician (Nate Ruess), who happens to be the lead singer of a band I am very familiar with, who didn't have any information on him, and that - again- shocked me. I thought it was strange that no one had submitted anything more than just what band he was in, so I went on an e-search to find more information, specifically his biogrpahy. To my surprise, there was nothing. I had the same problem with a couple other musicians. So, I then decided to take a different route and think about relating a stub to a class that I am taking or have taken in the past. I am currently enrolled in a Nutrition and Food Sciences class and a good chunk of the course focuses on food manufacturing. Because of this, I found myself on 'Food Company Stubs'. From there I found "Elmer's Fine Foods," a company based in New Orleans, famous for their cheese curls, and I added the company's history (which I found through the company's website) onto their Wikipedia page.
