You will be compiling your bibliography and creating an outline of the changes you will make in this sandbox.

Outline of proposed changes

 * In the sources that I have identified I believe that my sources can add relevant information to my chosen article because I'm going to start a completely different subject or paragraph within the chosen article of arson. When I first initially read the article, it told me facts about arson and how those crimes can be punishable. I thought to myself, “what makes an arsonist?” “What could be mentally wrong with the individual that makes them want to start fires?” So when I finally thought about it, I thought about adding a completely different topic of psychology in terms of arson. I looked at the discussion talk page within multiple people talking about arson. I saw that there was a small section of psychology introduced, but never actually published. I then decided to write my own paragraph on the psychology of arson. I messaged the talk page and wanted to know what they thought of this situation. They said that there was a small paragraph talking about the psychology of arson, but none of it was actually published. They then said that if I wanted to make an actual topic of it and publish it, then I'm more than free to do so. With that in mind, I then did some research into some articles about the psychology of arson that might be good to put into the Wikipedia's article. I wanted to add this topic to the article because I feel as though the whole page was somewhat missing something, and I feel like putting the psychology of arson into that can somewhat give the article some life. The question talks about adding or deleting any information into the article. While adding the information about the psychology of arson, I might delete the information of the countries and their view on arson and their punishments. I might delete those little sections and add a more in depth section on more prominent countries such as the US or a big country such as China. This is a maybe and I'm not fully sure whether I would delete and add more or just leave that section as is. In all I am going to add a paragraph on the psychology of arson, and I currently have two citations and two relative and in-depth articles about the subject that are going into the article.
 * I would say that the research and annotating citation for my bibliography process went somewhat smoothly. I definitely had a really hard time trying to figure out how to do the bibliography in general, but once I asked my teacher how to do it, it was somewhat easier to understand. Some of the terms I did have a hard time understanding such as exigency. I stated in my bibliography that I was unaware of what that word was and that I could not put information in for it because of the misunderstanding. I looked up what the word was and tried to find the meaning in terms of what it wanted, but again, I still could not wrap my mind around what it meant. I had a hard time understanding primary and secondary sources in terms of what it was. I believed that both my sources are secondary sources. I also had a hard time understanding if the source was independent or not. I assumed that it was because it was not tied with the direct Wikipedia page. In all I had somewhat of a difficult time understanding what some of the things were, but after thinking for a little bit, I was able to figure out the bibliography. What I found easy was being able to find a source that was actually credible and not fake. I found it really surprising for the first article just how many resources were used to make that academic journal.
