* Discussion: [[w:User:Grlucas/Discussion: Content Gap|What is a content gap?]] — Please try to be neat and orderly and logical in your additions to this discussion. Any links to Wikipedia pages should be done in your comment, not as a footnote or reference (only external sources should be in notes — and notes should be at the bottom of the page). Also, be sure to [[Research & Response|support what you write with evidence]]. Remember: format of any writing you do online is important and will count in evaluation, so errors or careless formatting will negatively affect your grade.
