Welcome!

Hello, Abibo98, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Shalor and I work with Wiki Education; I help support students who are editing as part of a class assignment.

I hope you enjoy editing here. If you haven't already done so, please check out the student training library, which introduces you to editing and Wikipedia's core principles. You may also want to check out the Teahouse, a community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to helping new users. Below are some resources to help you get started editing.

Hi! I saw that you chose this article to edit, however I noted that this article is of Good Article quality. What that means is that this article is among one of the best on Wikipedia and as such, it's more comprehensive than others. This in turn means that it's going to be far more difficult to find content to add to the article than if you were to choose a stub or start class article. For example, the article on Sarah Trimpin is only two paragraphs long and would be a good candidate for expansion. Another thing to take into consideration with articles of higher quality is that they are often more likely to be more heavily watched than lower quality ones, so there may be more pushback than there would be with other articles.

If you do want to continue with this article, keep in mind that your edits will need to be written as neutrally as possible and have the strongest possible sourcing. This is something that would be needed with any article, of course, but especially so with the higher quality ones since there will be more eyes upon them.

Hi to User:Shalor (Wiki Ed) and Abibo98. I am the primary author of Frances Ames. I would not recommend taking on this article for the assignment unless you have access to the book Mothering in an Apartheid Society (2002). This is the only major source missing from the article. If the student in question has full access to this source and has time to read it, then their participation in this article would be highly appreciated. Otherwise, I can recommend many other articles that need help, particularly Maria Czaplicka. Thank you. Viriditas (talk) 23:26, 27 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you Viriditas! I'll bring this up with the instructor! Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 17:03, 28 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
