Hi Melanie, First of all, I am very impressed by the amount of sources you have already compiled for your article! It must have taken you a while to search for ones which related to your subject matter. Secondly, a suggestion I have that might improve your outline would be to explain in a little more detail what each reference explains in regards to the subtopics of the main concept of Archaeological Site Conservation and Restoration (Deer, 2015). This way the reader would be able to comprehend your thought process and how you are planning on concluding the article. Right now, it just seems like a conglomeration of information and I am confused by how it all relates to the main idea of Archaeological Site Conservation. Thirdly, a recommended resource that might be of some help to your article pertains to the Conservation of Marine Archaeological Objects, a Google book by Colin Pearson (1987). I honestly do not know if you had a preference for the archaeological site to be on land or not, but this appears like it provide some depth as to where dig locations could be. Lastly, this article does follow Wikipedia guidelines as long as it does not, as depicted in the outline, include just “a single sentence or only a website link ("Your First Entry," 2015).” Overall I think that your article is going to be very informational and insightful for readers world-wide, and non-conservators/conservators alike. Thank you for sharing the beginning stages of your project with us. Good luck!

Melanie, I think that you have done a wonderful job of setting up your initial outline and rounding up a vast array of first-cut sources. Although many may suggest other methods, utilizing an annotated bibliography or expanded outline should be done if you feel you need a more filled in outline. You have done a great job to provide a very well thought out outline that does show the reader a progression through out your thought process and again this outline is just a beginning and we were given little time to prepare. I am certain that you will keep in mind how you plan to take such a broad topic and flesh out the ideas you seek to relate and in the manner that you feel best suits your end goal. You will have the opportunity, as you well know, to better explain your goals when you reach the draft stage. Overall, you have done a wonderful and comprehensive job. Keep up the great work!
