I have added/changed 4 things to the original article on Edmund W. Gordon. One paragraph is listed under the "Professional Life" section and regards Gordon's work with Head Start. I thought this was important to include because it wasn't addressed very well in the original article. The next thing I added was a paragraph about his mentors. This was interesting because of his work with W. E. B. Dubois, so I thought it was worth including. The next thing I changed was separating his personal life section from his professional life section. I also added a section his parents, which also involved a little bit of the social context of his childhood.

Your contributions seem good to me, Katie. Let me know if you get feedback from any reviewers. Dperkins16 (talk) 18:48, 21 November 2012 (UTC)

You added some useful information, Katie. I'm sorry the Wikipedia coding was so challenging, but one of the goals of the course is enhanced technology skills. I did not expect students to learn much more about their topic from this assignment, but rather to learn how to evaluate and improve an article and to take seriously their own ability to contribute to knowledge.
