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.
