Potential Topics for ENG 480 CJD- This is a degenerative brain disease which killed my grandfather and is the reason that I cannot donate blood. There is currently no way to know wether you have it or not until it is already killing you. While rare, it is important to my family’s history, and I feel that there must be something missing from the article that currently exists on Wikipedia.

Souther Pacific 2472- My great grandfather worked on this engine, in his retirement, before his death. It was such a large part of his life, and it is held at the Golden Gate Railroad Museum, which is both local and integral to my family’s history.

The development of the flute as an instrument- The flute is one of the oldest instruments there is and has gone through so many iterations that I would like to chronicle these to see what led to the split e, b foot model that is most common today. I’ve played flute for 11 years and yet know nothing of the instrument’s historical importance, despite iterations being used in ancient times as well as the American Revolution.

(I would advise against CJD - - as it's not a cultural/literary topic. You have to do a notability test on the SP 2472.  The development of the flute is really broad . . is there a way to narrow that down? ProfHanley (talk) 17:57, 3 October 2019 (UTC))

MinniJean Brown-Trickey

The page currently exists but lacks any information on what she is doing now, her daughter, an in-depth account of her time at Central High School, or any explanation of what she was there to do, how the Nine were chosen, etc. It also includes nothing on her family beyond the fact that they exist.

[OK. So, where do we stand? What is your proposed topic/article? If it's Minnijean Brown-Trickey, that page looks pretty good already. Not sure why the additions you suggest are critical or necessary. Perhaps another topic? ProfHanley (talk) 23:51, 14 October 2019 (UTC)]
