Article Draft
The article I plan on editing is Johnstown, Pennsylvania. There are a few things I believe that I could do to change the article on Johnstown. to begin there is a section that is written the needs a citation. I would like to be able to find a source so I could add the citation to that section. Another thing that I found is in the section under Notable People it has listed Carlton Haselrig listed as Pittsburgh Steelers football player. It does not mention that he is a 6 time national NCCA wrestling championship. I think this is a good to add because he is a coach and I've wrestled his team and that is an interesting fact.

Vetter's Feedback
Hi Jake,

Good start on this, and I think you've chosen a good candidate for further development. You've identified a couple of particular developments here. Adding citations can improve the article and that's a great start. We can find a way to make that count for the length requiremnt. You also mentioned that you can a little more detail about one of Johnstown's Notable People. It looks like you've already got a specific source for that so that works! Your other two sources look promising, but you're going to have to look through them in more detail to figure out what information exactly you can use to update the article. I would also recommend checking out other Wikipedia articles on towns or cities to learn more about the types of sources used in well-developed articles. You might try some government databases available through the IUP Library to find some census data for instance. Your next step really is to comb through those sources and find more sources and begin identifying particular passages that you can use in the development of this article. Bring those sources and identified passages to our next class and we'll begin the process of summarizing and drafting. We'll talk more in our conference! Best, - Dr. Vetter
