Hi Bradford, Kate, and Brittany: Good start on your content. I formatted your headers properly which automatically populated your TOC for you. This will give you a better look at where you need to add sections/content.

Also, I've moved your "questions from the group" to this talk page; feel free to keep adding Q&A's here. Putting it here will keep it separated from your article content and ensure we don't have problems long-term. I'm hoping Leigh is answering these questions for you.

Regarding your Works Cited section, you are likely seeing those boxes b/c of the way you copy/pasted the text. Wikipedia is not a fan of text copied from Word docs; however, you can likely clean this up in the WP editor.

Keep working on developing your content, adding links to WP articles where appropriate, properly formatting your references, and having fun! --Rburdette (talk) 18:22, 25 October 2011 (UTC)

Questions from the group
Is it possible for LSU to get access to other Universities’ databases to see if we can find more information on Lillo’s background? This was the only source I found with biographical information. - Brittany

The only other place I can think of gathering information about historical context is a history book. Is this acceptable? – B Is this enough information? Where should we go from here? How can we expand? – Kate

B, you should research more about the ballad, and actual history, about George Barnwell’s murder of his uncle. The ballad of George Barnwell plays a part in social context and leads him to write The London Merchant. You should also research more about London mercantilism and the bureaucracy involved. – Kate

We have definitely added more information than there was before; however, there is still very little written about Lillo’s life and background. What else should we do? - Kate

Kate, I need to find the other works written by Lillo. I currently only have found 5 or 6. - Kate
