Potential Difficulties when working with the National Economic Association:

The article that we are working on is about an association that is not the most well known so we are required to use a lot of the sources that are provided by the association itself rather than collecting information from other scholarly sources. This can be a decent amount of work because we have to extract and organize our information from a lot of bits and pieces. Referencing the material can also be a little difficult because they are obscure primary resources, and may be tough for other Wikipedians to find and verify the truth in our statements. Trying to paint a larger picture of the NEA is a difficult task but that is what we are aiming to do to make their organization more visible and be known for the great work that it does. We also will have to collaborate with the editor of the article to make sure they are fine with the changes we make and try to avoid the creep of bias in our writing.
