Hi! I'm Erika. I'm currently taking a course about information and technology and throughout the semester I'll be learning how to use and make edits on Wikipedia. I love to travel, eat and play lacrosse.

Potential Articles
After looking through numerous stub articles, these are the three potential topics I came up with:


 * Zacchini Brothers: This article seems interesting. Brothers who were shot out of a cannon? Who wouldn't want to learn more! I proceeded to google search Zacchini Brothers after initially seeing this stub and it seems like there is more information that I would be able to include in my Wikipedia page. They are a historical pair and nothing will be changing with them anytime soon so I think this is a good potential topic.
 * B.R.A.K.E.S.: This stub page also captured my attention. While there is already a decent foundation of information available in this page, I think there is more that can be included.  B.R.A.K.E.S. is a noteworthy organization that I had heard about before looking into this page so I'm interested to learn more about it.
 * VTB Ice Palace: This is another stub page that I thought could be developed nicely. It's about a sports arena that is newly built so there should be new information available that I would be able to include in my continuation of it. It isn't a complex topic and I'm sure there are people that want to be reading about it.

Please let me know if these topics seem like they might work!!

-After having a peer-editing day in class, I have found that my front-runner is the Zacchini Brothers Article. It seems as if there is the most outside information available on the topic and the subject of the article is historical in nature. I am hoping that I will be able to find some information in print as well. My second choice is the VTB Ice Palace Article. I don't know much about either topic but I think I need to research both further in order to decide which will better suit the purpose of the project.

Final Decision: I have decided to edit the Zacchini Brothers article! It seems most interesting and there should be a good amount of information available on the subject.

Elax21, you are invited on a Wikipedia Adventure!
