The wikipedia article I will be editing is Little Italy, Manhattan. The article lacks historical facts and information drawn from multiple sources. Therefore, I plan on contributing to its historical information section, specifically, the wave of Italian immigrants during the 1880's and how their settlement had contributed to the growth of industries and small businesses. Prime sources I will be looking at are:

Jackson, Kenneth T., and Keller, Lisa, eds. The Encyclopedia of New York City (2). New Haven, US: Yale
