'''NOAH!! - You’ve made good progress here. The parts you’ve added are well-written and important additions to the piece. The key task now is laying in citations that are newer and fuller.'''

1)    Lay out the structure of your article or the new chunks of an old article with an Introduction and titles for the parts you want to add or rewrite

'''Laying the earlier history of British attitudes and laws makes sense. You can link to other Wikipedia articles for  some of that. The section on why American Laws around backruptcy tried to be different is the most important section. It could have a more descriptive title like “New Ideas in the U.S. about Solving Bankruptcy”'''

2) Added new, high-quality sources (books, articles, authoritative websites)

As you add more citations to the paragraphs here, look for more journal articles about specifically about your Bankruptcy Laws, but also more recent material about early U.S. Economic history.

'''Try finding a good, new general economic history book to get more basic background and cites for specific things about your topic: Levy, Jonathan. Ages of American Capitalism : A History of the United States  2021. (in our library) and a good online encyclopedia:  Carson, Thomas, and Bonk, Mary, eds. ''Gale Encyclopedia of U.S. Economic History. (OU has online)'

3)Written 50-60% of what you hope to add

'''I can see exactly where you are going and that parts you hope to fill in. At some point, you might have to decide to focus on two or three sections rather than working on fixing the whole article. You can leave some work other people to do later.'''

4) Thinking about linking as opposed to creating too much background

Here is where you might need to consider how much background people can get from other Wikipedia articles about earlier British Laws and other economic events in the early republic.

5) Started to clean up a few paragraphs

'''You can decide whether you want to do this on the mainspace or in your sandbox, but the clean up and fixing spelling and writing errors takes a while. The next step is adding some maps and images.'''
