Hello, 14nissanaltimas, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Ian and I work with Wiki Education; I help support students who are editing as part of a class assignment.

I hope you enjoy editing here. If you haven't already done so, please check out the student training library, which introduces you to editing and Wikipedia's core principles. You may also want to check out the Teahouse, a community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to helping new users. Below are some resources to help you get started editing.

WRTG 111 Check-In

edit

Hello 14nissanaltimas, this is your WRTG 111 instructor checking in on your Wikipedia project. I see that you've selected two potential articles and you had mentioned in class a prior interest in Datura, however that is a Feature Article which could make it challenging to find additional information or citations needed. If you'd consider working on the Project Chariot article instead I believe you'll be in a better position to improve the article at it is quite brief. The last paragraph which cites The genocide machine in Canada : the pacification of the North by Davis could be expanded if you get your hands on the book. It is available at UAA & UAF so I'll request that along with a few other books for you at the campus library. I'm including some potential sources below:

Source 1 O’Neill, Dan. “Alaska and the Firecracker Boys: The Story of Project Chariot.” The Atomic West, edited by Bruce Hevly and John M. Findlay, University of Washington Press, 1998, pp. 179–99, http://www.jstor.org/stable/j.ctvcwn37g.11.

This is an excerpt from O'Neil's book of the same title. I thought the excerpt might be a good place to start but did request the book for you at the library.
