The wikipedia article I will be editing is Little Italy, Manhattan. The article lacks historical facts and information drawn from multiple sources. Therefore, I plan on contributing to its historical information section, specifically, the wave of Italian immigrants during the 1880's and how their settlement had contributed to the growth of industries and small businesses. Prime sources I will be looking at are:
Henderson, Matthew Adam. "Little Italy." Encyclopedia of Immigration and Migration in the American West. Ed. Gordon Morris Bakken and Alexandra Kindell. Vol. 1. Thousand Oaks, CA: SAGE Reference, 2006. 411-413. Gale Virtual Reference Library. Web. 20 Oct. 2016.
Jackson, Kenneth T., and Keller, Lisa, eds. The Encyclopedia of New York City (2). New Haven, US: Yale
University Press, 2010. ProQuest ebrary. Web. 20 October 2016.
Pretelli, Matteo. "Little Italy." Multicultural America: A Multimedia Encyclopedia. Ed. Carlos E. Cortés and
Jane E. Sloan. Vol. 3. Thousand Oaks, CA: SAGE Reference, 2014. 1362-1363. Gale Virtual Reference Library. Web. 20 Oct. 2016.
