WIKIPEDIA ASSIGNMENT #3 COMPLETED Recently made critical evaluations on three wikipedia discussion pages. I would consider all three of these for my final research topic.

1) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Personal_finances_of_professional_American_athletes#New_Section_Needed_on_NBA_Player_Failures 2) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:National_Basketball_Association_criticisms_and_controversies#Age_Limit_busts (under age limit busts) 3) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Academic_Progress_Rate

I have asked for suggestions, and looking for feedback on what I have suggested. Looking forward to doing research on these topics!
