Article on Jimmy Wales:

 * Jimmy Wales was born on the seventh of August 1966 making him 51 years old. In 2001 Jimmy co-founded Wikipedia which ended up becoming the biggest encyclopedia in the world.
 * The article has many different sources 173 to be exact, I clicked on quite a few of them and they all worked, I even put one of them after the brief description I gave of Jimmy Wales.
 * On the talk page of Jimmy Wales there was one user that fixed over 20 article sources and he or she talks about why he or she did them, as well as asking other editors to check is edits and make sure they are correct. Most of this person's edits were links he clicked on that were not right or were dead and needed fixing. I then checked some of his links and found out that most of the originals were all broken links or weren't even sources at all, and this person fixed them.
 * Mostly everything was neutral and non-bias there was something on how Jimmy claimed that he was the sole founder, but that was his own words and the article says he is a Co-founder.

Article on History of Books:
References:
 * This article talks about the first books, which weren't actually books at all but the ancient writings on stone, bones, waxes, etc...
 * I checked something different with this article, I checked the bold words inside of the paragraphs and checked were they would lead me. I clicked on the word bone and it brought me to a completely different Wiki page on Oracle bone and what it was used for. It in fact was used for the purpose of ancient writing and it went a lot more in depth into it than the history of books page.
 * In the Talk Page of the History of Books one user talks about how they added something about E-books, I think it was a good idea because history does not stop, we are at a new point in time where everything comes to us electronically. The last two years I have not had a textbook in any of my classes instead I had an electronic book, and the world is soon changing to completely electronic and that is why I appreciate how that user added that.
 * Some of the lines and wording in was a little difficult to understand, I feel they could have made it much simpler.

A few months after the war officially started over 30,000 American casualties were recorded. (this will be good to add because by April 1969 there are this many casualties in the war)


 * Maybe try and find facts about operation Hammer and add that in their. Location, Casualties etc

April 1969
Tensions and casualties start escalating months after the Vietnam War begins both in Vietnam and back home in the United States. In the beginning of April a massive group of Harvard students took their angers to the school, trying to overthrow officials all while physically taking out multiple deans and eventually locked themselves in to revolt against the Vietnam War. Meanwhile over in Vietnam the war starts to escalate and over 30,000 Americans are wounded or killed by North Vietnamese troops.


 * Add something about student protests in 1969: http://www.thecrimson.com/article/1984/4/9/reflecting-on-the-1969-student-strike/
