Editing Little Bear Fire
 * Once again the article was short, and it had four references which were all used accurately and without plagiarism.
 * I added a few sentences on the fact there were no lives lost in the fire due to well-publicized evacuation notices and good government planning. I supported this with a relevant summary from the US department of Agriculture.
 * Finally I added an external link at the end to the Wikipedia article for Wildfire. This allows readers to familiarize themselves with wildfires if they are not knowledgeable on the subject.

Editing April 2014 Nicaragua earthquake
 * The article was very short (about two sentences long) and none of the information was plagiarized. If there was more information, a more thorough check would have been completed.
 * I added two sentences assessing the human injury and death toll, the damage done to houses, and the after shock factor. Then I linked the resource I used to gather that information.
 * I added a link to the Wikipedia article for the economy of Nicaragua for readers to check the historical economic impact of natural disturbances in Nicaragua.

Editing Red Lake (Croatia) Practice Article--Editing 1937 Great Hong Kong Typhoon
 * There were two very good references used in this short article, and I checked to find plagiarism, but there appeared to be none.
 * I then added two sentences about an in-cave canal discovered back in 2001.
 * Finally, I added a link to the pdf from the International Speleological Congress that met in 2001. It can be found in the references portion of the article.
 * I checked for plagiarism first. There were a few facts that weren't supported by sources, but I couldn't find any information on them, so I added "needs reference."
 * I then added the following two sentences, "The typhoon was so powerful that it caused a 9.1 meter tidal wave that swept through the villages of Taipo and Shatin. The villages suffered massive damage and many fatalities." I cited a credible source, hurricanescience.org, for the information.
 * Next, I added a link to the Wikipedia article for Economy of Hong Kong. This allows viewers of the page to assess the economic effects of natural disturbances in Hong Kong.
