Article Critique:

1. The original page stated the definition and example of Big Bath with its primary source as Intermediate Accounting. The original definition is concise. One example was given on the mechanics of Big Bath, but does not clearly explain the motive behind the technique. My group should add the "why" for implementing big bath accounting techniques.

2. The General Motors example of write downs and its main objective are slightly distracting. An example was previously stated to explain the definition of big baths. The General Motors example intended to act more as an real-world application example. The General Motors example will require a subheading of real world applications to make the information more clear.

Contribution Plan:

Additional reasons of implementing big bath technique will be added to the wiki page. I would also state the origins of how the accounting strategy obtained the "big bath" name. How, when, where, and why should also be incorporated in describing in detail Big Bath. I would also include additional definitions to strengthen the big bath definition (ex. defining earnings management). I would state the relationship between the accounting standards and the big bath technique. At the end, I will include an applications page that discusses current news articles about big bath (Samsung, CEOs).
