Top Priorities for Implicature
 * Expand on Types of implicatures: The conversational implicature section has some adequate information but it could be elaborated with using another source. This section could benefit from adding the Cooperative Principle and maxims of conversation in more detail. Conventional implicature needs more information explaining the actual meaning and application of a conventional implicature. The information for this portion is lacking in detailed information and concepts. Consequently, we could add allofunctional implicature to the list since it is a type of implicature; we could also add examples of allofunctional implicatures.


 * Edit Implicature vs entailment: This portion of the article uses an example for explanation but could benefit from having a more concrete definition and common application. We could look for sources that support this; if we can't find something substantial, we could consider removing it.


 * Add more applications: Besides having types of implicatures, we could also show how implicatures exist in certain settings. For example, we can talk about the types of implicatures used in the criminal justice system; we could use Solan and Tiersma's text as a reference. It would be ideal to have at least 2 to 3 applications of implicatures outside of conversational and conventional but we could look further into this throughout the editing process.

 * Focus on organization and structure: This article would be easier to read through if there was a better structure for the layout of the information. Especially in the headings with subtitles, that information should be clearly italicized or bulleted if necessary.
