Proposals for a final project: Trafficking of children (add organ harvesting). Kquigg (talk) 01:42, 9 January 2018 (UTC)

The Wikipedia article, "Trafficking of children" lacks one type of trafficking under the "Types" sub-menu. Although there is a Wikipedia article labeled, "Organ trade" talking about the illegal and legal forms of organ trading on the black market, in china, etc, they do not have a section specifically for child organ donation or child trafficking for organ harvesting. For this weeks Wikipedia assignment I made changes to the article "trafficking of children" and I looked at its talk page where I saw many people calling for the articles improvement. I added a comment stating that organ harvesting was being left out of types so as to receive feedback from the Wiki community. Unfortunately, for some reason I can no longer locate my comment in the talk section of the article under the section, "Proposed expansion, restructuring, revisions."

This addition of a subsection would be brief because on the talk section I learned that it's better to add a little information to many articles because a page that is too long does not hold a viewers attention. At the least we will create the new subsection labeled "Organ harvesting" and link it to the page #REDIRECT Organ trade. Tim Ballard is an expert on the field of child trafficking of children and he created a site called operation underground railroad. He is open to conversation so an idea I have is to interview him and hear directly from the expert on the field. This would provide new statistics on the trafficking of kids in general which is needed since it seems the last major overhauling of this article was done in 2012, and would allow us to find out more about organ harvesting of children. Although there seems to be a lapse in information on the topic of organ harvesting of kids, I feel as though that is reason we should write about this topic.
