I have successfully participated in the following WikiEdu courses training scholars in how to edit Wikipedia:

• Wiki Scholars - National Archives and Records Administration 2019 Q1 (12 weeks, 10 students) [authored article on Carrie Langston Hughes turning her from a Woman in Red to a "woman in blue" as per the Redlist Index; this article appeared in the April 4, 2019 Wikipedia "Did You Know?" post, see below]
• National Archives Wiki Scholars - Advanced May 2019 (4 weeks, 7 students) [contributed significantly to article on the Nineteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution now rated as a Wikipedia Social Sciences and Society "Good Article" reviewed on December 18, 2019]
• Women in Red Wiki Scholars - Spring 2020 (12 weeks, 22 students) [authored article on Mammoth Bioscience's co-founder Janice Chen and added Gay Magazine and Unruly Bodies to Roxane Gay's page. Chen appeared on Wikipedia's Women in Red Redlist Index, Gay Magazine appeared on the June 2020 Women in Red editing event, "Pride"]

Additional edits include:

April-May, 2021 - Authored article on Hot Wells of Bexar County

July 27, 2020 - Added subsection, "Queering suffragist history," to the article on the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. Response on the talk page re: taking section down:

Problems with 'queering suffragist history'[edit]

First issue - this was not an article for Ms. Magazine, it was a reprint of an article by the Women’s Suffrage Centennial Commission; it shouldn't be attributed to the former. The section is WP:UNDUE, it has only the one source - it should instead pull in sourced portions from within the original article. It's also not providing background to the movement per se, it's an interpretation of the personal behaviors of some of the people involved in it. It relies too heavily on the one author's perspective and narrative. I can certainly see some of the more direct details being incorporated into the biographies of those mentioned, and those details may be relevant to their inclusion in the suffragist background of the nineteenth amendment, but not as a standalone section, it would require wider acknowledgement of these interpretations in other reliable sources.

DYK for Carrie Langston Hughes

On 4 April 2019, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Carrie Langston Hughes, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that, at age 60, Carrie Langston Hughes made her Broadway debut as Sister Susie May Hunt in Hall Johnson's Run Little Chillun? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Carrie Langston Hughes. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Carrie Langston Hughes), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

A barnstar for you!

		For applying your excellent research skills to flesh out more details in the Nineteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution article, including contemporary literature about the Nineteenth, as well as adding the names of the "two women" who they tried to remove from the voting rolls!
