You will be compiling your bibliography and creating an outline of the changes you will make in this sandbox.

Outline of proposed changes
There seem to be excessive quotes that do not need to be in the article, so I plan to eliminate some of them, and just give a description of the point trying to be made. This will require me to look through previous sources so I can figure out how to reword the point the original Wikipedian was trying to make.

Another feature that I think is lacking in this article is more examples of African-American folktales and a demonstration of the themes displayed under the "Themes" header. Adding on to this point, I think that more information could be given on the themes of African-American folktales. The articles that I have chosen will help me gather more information on African-American folktales, and add more important themes that contribute to the foundation of these tales.

Although this may be an obvious point since this is a stub class-level article, however, I think that the article needs to contain more information in general. Not trying to discredit the work of the original Wikipedian who worked on it, but some topics only have two sentences and a quote, which is not enough. Using the articles I have chosen, as well as the ones already referenced in the article, I will expound upon African-American folktales and potentially even add new headers once I have gathered enough information.

A smaller change that I want to make is to add more hyperlinks throughout the article, as I think it adds to the depth of a Wikipedia article.

The African-American topics sidebar is auto-generated, which means that it could be edited to more specifically fit the needs of the article. I plan to tinker with this feature to see how it can better improve the article.

The lead section of the article also appears to be short, so I will expand upon it, adding the points that are in the text to give it more life.
