Tyra's references & questions for Dr. Council

1. Currently there isn't a wikipedia article on Reiko True. Reiko True is a trailblazer in her field so creating a wikipedia article on her would contribute to the world's understanding of psychology. 2. Here are two of the sources that I found:

Leong, F., & Okazaki, S. (2009). History of Asian American psychology. Cultural Diversity and Ethnic Minority Psychology, 15(4). Retreived from http://web.a.ebscohost.com.ezproxy.lib.ndsu.nodak.edu/ehost/detail/detail?vid=3&sid=7e0e9041-e106-4a99-a1f3-114e7aa85c7e%40sessionmgr4010&hid=4107&bdata=JnNpdGU9ZWhvc3QtbGl2ZSZzY29wZT1zaXRl#AN=2009-21279-004&db=pdh.

True, R.H. (1990). Psychotherapeutic issues with Asian American women. Sex Roles, 22(7).

3. Here's my questions for Dr. Council: It's been a little challenging finding good sources about Reiko True. How do we know if we have enough sources to talk about our topic and write an article on this subject? I went through online journal databases to look for sources. Is there a better place I can start to find articles on True?

Women of color in Psychology True Reiko was one of the psychologists who contributed highly important improvement and innovation to several areas such as Asian American Association along with pointing out mental health issues through color of women in America. Reiko did her majority of research and analysis in terms of psychotherapy on common mental issues and possible mental therapies for Asian American women in the states. She herself was a Japanese – American woman who lived in California State mostly in her time in America. Although her work was heavily fell on women and gender issues towards color of women and it has also been focused on communities for Asian Americans.

Among her work, she was highly recognized as a woman of color whose work essentially influenced to specific community that has never been really studied in the 1960’s. Highlight of her work was done on few races within Asian continents, which were China, Korea, Japan, Indonesia and Malaysia etc. True’s engagement in the Asian American community showed through many of her research and studies, which one of the importantly recognizable study was done in 1989 in Journal of Community Psychology titled A Bitter Bean: Mental Status and Attitudes in Chinatown. Most of her major research that specifies community of Asian American people has accomplished with peers and colleagues who themselves were Asian American as well. California was and still is a major area for many races to come together and it is the spot for first comers. True’s work stated many unwritten rules, expectation, dilemmas that immigrants go through. True’s work that studied emotional outcome from disaster was done after the Kobe’s earthquake in Japan in 1995. She not only focused on emotional distress on Asian American women, her work expanded to research on wide emotional ranges that caused by distinguishing events that happened in her home country as well. 01:48, 27 October 2016 (UTC)01:48, 27 October 2016 (UTC)~~ — Preceding unsigned comment added by ArigunAmy (talk • contribs)

Don't start section with a blank in the first column. That's what gives you the grayed out box. J.R. Council (talk) 20:58, 31 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Brett's Comments Amy's Lead

I think your lead section was creatively written. Some of the grammar and wording should be cleaned up so it flows better, but it's a good start. I would also like it to follow our outline alitte more so that it introduces the article as a whole. Brett.turbo (talk) 15:32, 28 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

This is a good lead, but I agree with Brett that it needs editing. However, most of it is written pretty generally and focuses on what makes her notable, which is good! J.R. Council (talk) 20:58, 31 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Feedback

@Brett.turbo and ArigunAmy: Nice work on your draft. A few things going forward

Your first six references are incompletely formatted. The first two links produce 404 errors, so double check them and correct the links. Check out the Sources and Citations training if you need a refresher on how to add sources with the VisualEditor.
Only proper nouns should be capitalized, so terms like "psychologist" and "international relations" shouldn't be capitalized.
Adding links to other articles helps integrate your work into Wikipedia, and makes it easy for readers to learn more about things they might want to learn more about.
References go after punctuation, not before. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 22:29, 6 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
