~~ Dear Thomas, Great choice of topic and approach to the topic. Your research question is strong to begin your research and your initial sources are also peer-reviewed and relevant. You may need more as you continue your research or you may or may not find it necessary to adjust your question as you work, but this is a very strong beginning. I encourage you to get started in your reading now so that you can submit a strong Prospectus by March 21 and Wikipedia article draft in the next couple of weeks. I think that you'll make a very important and relevant contribution to Wikipedia (will you also make the same contribution to Wikipedia in French?). I look forward to reading your paper.
