10/23- I added more information, cited more sources, and reworded some sentenced that were directly copied from source without citations.

10/2- This is how the Sandbox should start looking. Be sure to watch the video in Introduction to Week 5 if you haven't yet. What did you notice about "Gingerbread" page? What could you improve?

Use "Evaluate Wikipedia" to help you figure out what needs to be improved in your article. Update this page every week.

10/15- Good work on the citation added for 17th c. gingerbread. Let's check with a WikiTech and make sure that source will work (email them through "get help" at the bottom of this page. I'm not seeing what else you changed or are working on.  Let me know by this Sunday 10/20 in the worklog, okay?

10/25- Good. Can you please bold the things that you reworded? I want to give you feedback but I'm not sure which ones they are.

Article I'm Editing (pasted)
The first trade of gingerbread biscuits that was put on paper was in the 17th century. They were sold in monasteries, pharmacies, and town square farmers' markets. In Medieval England, gingerbread was thought to have the ability to help sickness, like medicine. The town of Market Drayton in Shropshire, England became known for its gingerbread one hundred years later and then they added gingerbread to their welcome sign. The sign then stated it is the "home of gingerbread". '''1793 first recorded date to mention of gingerbread being baked in the town, although it was probably made earlier since ginger had been stocked in high street businesses since the 1640s. Gingerbread may refer to a cake, or a type of cookie or biscuit made with ginger in England as well as taking the form of a gingerbread man. They were first attributed to Queen Elizabeth I and soon after, gingerbread became widely available in the 18th century.'''
