9/25-You're on the right track, Farrah! You may want to copy the parts of the article (Explanation and Examples) into your Sandbox here so you can make changes before they go live. Blaze a trail!

10/16- Hi Farrah! It looks like you copied from the article in read and not edit mode. This means you lost the links to sources or other Wikipedia pages in it. First save any changes you've made in a Word or other doc and then RE-paste the sections of the article you're working on. Find any images or Wikilinks that might be helpful and include them. For credit, by 10/21.

What I'm changing:

The content of the article is relevant to the topic of the "Winner's Curse". The article is also written in a neutral tone. Though I would have to say that some areas are under-developed. All of the citations that are in the article are reliable, but one of the claims needs a citation. I definitely want to add at least one picture. I also want to improve the sections "Explanation" and "Examples" by adding more information. As well as adding more references and external links. And fix any grammar issues the article might have.

The effects the Winner's Curse phenomenon has on the price of an item.

September 29th: I added a needed citation to the third sentence of the first paragraph in the article. I also checked to make sure the article's grammar, spelling, and punctuations were correct, then corrected the mistakes.

October 10th: I added the best picture I could find. I looked for weeks and compared to all of the other pictures it fits the concept of Winner's Curse the most. I going to keep looking just in case a better one pops up in the future, but for now, this is the best picture.

October 19th: A user named "Flyer22 Reborn" reverted all of my edits with a diff browser called 'Huggle". I don't know why yet, but I asked her and now I'm just waiting for her reply. Honestly, I don't want to edit anything else until I know why she reverted all of my other edits. So, I'm just back to square one at this point.

October 20th: I decided that I'm not going to add new information to the sections "Explanation" and "Examples" because after reading a bunch of references and reading, then rereading the sections themselves, I think they are fine the way they are. I am however still going to try to find a better picture and recorrect all of the grammar mistakes once "Flyer22 Reborn" replies to me. Additionally, I'm going to set my focus on creating a new section for the article.

October 21th: I found a more appropriate picture that I think explains the overpaying aspect of the Winner's Curse phenomenon in a simple, but accurate way. Though, I want to wait to add it to the article. I also found some relevant references and the corresponding links to those references for the new section. "Flyer22 Reborn" replied to me. She said "The only issues I can see with your edits is that you changed the spelling on some words and that you capitalized the heading. Feel free to restore the other content.". So I went back, fixed the grammar and added the missing citation.

October 27th: I added the picture to the real article and replaced a reference with one that has a link to the full text. Also, I added the new section(Further reading).

November 3rd: All contributions are moved to the main article(Winner's Curse).
