Citations

Hey Chelsea, wow you've done a lot of work. My only concern at this point is that you haven't cited a lot of your sentences. For example there are no citations for this entire passage:
Archives represent a nation’s values and important historical moments and thus the seizure and destruction of records, regardless if intentional or unintentional, will damage the morale of a nation. The value governments, citizens, and occupying forces place on archives make them prime targets in military conflicts. Thus, archives often experience looting by citizens and foreign troops, destruction, and the seizure of records by occupying military personnel during times of war due to their value and ability to represent a nation.
I think it's important in a wiki to cite all sentences based on even a smidgen of fact. How do you know that archives often experience looting - this is obviously based on a fact you got from some source.

Hi Kathryn,

Thank you for bringing this to my attention! The sentence you quoted was a synthesis of my views on archives during times of war after doing all of the research. Having said that, my views are based on fact (as you pointed out), so I'll be sure to go over the citations more carefully.

Thanks again Chelsea
