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

Outline of proposed changes

 * With the article not having much structure or information, there are many ways it can be built out and more "reader-friendly."
 * In other words, I want to make the verbiage used more understandable to all readers (not just those who have a basic understanding of the theory prior to searching for it on Wikipedia).
 * All of the current references are relatively dated and could benefit from implementing more updated sources on the theory.
 * The books included in my bibliography provide more background information on the theory including specific components of it.
 * Once I have full access to them, I will be able to add this information to the sandbox draft of the article.
 * Each of the articles I have chosen builds on Excitation-transfer theory as a whole and poses possible limitations and areas where the theory can be built out further (the limitations section may be helpful if viewers want to know of areas they can build their potential future research on).
 * Since most of the article is currently reliant on the history of the theory, these additional articles will add content and give clear examples of the theories being tested in a research setting (which can help the readers conceptualize the topics a little better).
 * Adding headings will be helpful in not only organizing the information on the article but also for the reader to click on the sections that are of interest to them.
 * There is currently only one heading used in the article, meaning that this is an area that can be built out greatly.
 * Although it is not considered a “perfectly build-out article,” I have been referencing the page for Agenda-setting theory to get an idea of how to structure the article I am editing (since there was not much to work with, I felt it would be helpful if I looked to other theories that have a better formatted and accessible site).
 * There are three links in the current articles that do not lead to another article. I am planning on either linking the intended article, if available, or removing the link altogether. This may require additional explanation on those specific terms, which I will add accordingly.
 * There are two very large block quotes and other in-text quotes that seem a bit unnecessary (I also do think it may violate what qualifies as plagiarism on Wikipedia). I will be removing these quotes and explaining them thoroughly in my own words (making sure it is a true paraphrase and citing the correct article).
 * The current reference page included duplicate citations to the same source, which I will be removing.
 * Other articles have a “See Also” section where they include related theories and information that ties back to the current article, which may be beneficial for this article to have.
 * Could possibly include Two-Factor Theory of emotion under this heading, as it was one of the theories Excitation-transfer theory was built upon.
 * Incorporate images or graphics that help the reader visualize the information on the theory.
