My second time around with this project, it's good to get a refresher on how to edit Wikipedia!
I do not know what page I'll edit yet, but I think it'll have to do with East German Defection. I think that the topic is quite interesting.

I don't know what to cite, so here's a fact: the San Francisco Giants won 107 games this year and are currently tied in the National League Division Series (NLDS) with the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Views and life satisfaction[Already on page, just here for context]
Additionally, the fall of the Berlin Wall was useful in generating wealth at the household level in both the East and the West. Those who lived in West Germany and had social ties to the East experienced a six percent average increase in their wealth in the six years following the fall of the wall, which more than doubled that of households who didn't possess the same connections. Entrepreneurs who worked in areas with strong social ties to the East saw their incomes increase at an even more rapid rate. Incomes for this group increased at an average rate of 8.8 percent over the same six year period following reunification. Similarly, those in the East who possessed connections to the West saw their household income increase at a positive rate in each of the six years following reunification. Those in their regions who lacked the same ties did not see the same benefit. More broadly, commercial firms, in the same way as households and individuals, also saw profits increase in the years following reunification. Specifically, gains in the form of increased profits were the greatest for firms in the service sector who invested in the East relative to those which did not. The reunification served to increase economic growth in the region through rising household income and commercial profit due to the ability to utilize social connections that were previously restricted by the border.
