Article Draft Proposal
The article I intend to work on is small business. I'm proposing to make additions and also changes to the article to make it a better source of information for the world. As noted before, I intend to expand the article for a worldwide view on small business, not just in America. The article explains a lot about American companies within the states and only a small fraction pertain to businesses overseas. People all over the world can access Wikipedia, so I believe it could be expanded to be more full of a worldwide view for everyone. If adding information across every subheading for the worldwide view is too long, I would like to make my own subheading and make a separate section for that. The article itself also needs updated to how the current economy is running. The demographic section of the article is also outdated and I intend to find a newer "business" consensus hopefully. The citation for the demographic section does not even exist anymore on the website. Certain sections such as "Retailers Cooperative" could also be expanded because of the little information that is there. There is also needed more citations needed under the bankruptcy section. The cyber crime section barely has any information and I found a couple great online sources to add a great deal of information. At the end of adding all of my new information (or updated information) I also intend to read the whole article and go through and fix any grammatical errors I see after I am finished. Feedback: You are in the right track. I think that making it a world wide focus is a great idea. You could also try to expand on some of the smaller sections, such as cyber crime and bankruptcy. Also there are a lot of citations needed in the article, so you could try to what sources are needed to improve the article.

Vetter's feedback

 * Hi Josh - this is a great article to work on and I think you've identified some really good specific ways to improve it. In addition to improving the article from a more global perspective, I would also recommend that you revise and develop existing content to improve the use of sources. The banner at the topic of the articles notes that:


 * This article needs additional citations for verification. (December 2008)
 * This article possibly contains original research. (January 2009)
 * These are two additional areas where you could work. And we could figure out a way that that kind of revision/improvement would count toward your final word count. Let's talk about the two different strategies you mention (adding information for every section or creating a new section). We can determine which would be best based on the assignment constraints, etc. Good work on this proposal. Matthewvetter (talk) 19:10, 26 February 2018 (UTC)
