Feedback on Women in the Economy (Winter I)
[edit]Hello Adshadem, if I understand correctly you're the instructor for the students editing for the "Women in the Economy (Winter I)" course. First off, I'm very impressed by the quality of your students' articles - I've reviewed a handful of them so far as part of New Page Patrol and they've been very well-written and well-sourced. I did notice one issue that several had in common that I wanted to bring to your attention: most of them have a fairly extensive "Research and Publications" section. This isn't inherently a problem, but the issue is that the content of these sections looks like synthesis - it's analysis of the subject's publications by the students. Around Wikipedia, we want to hear what independent, reliable sources say, rather than what our contributors come up with on their own. This isn't a pressing issue, and I will tag these sections for other editors to review and possibly clean up, but I wanted to start a conversation with you about this in the hope that we could maybe find a better way for future students to approach this topic while still meeting your course objectives. If you reply, please make sure to ping me with {{u|creffett}} so that I see your message. Thanks, and I look forward to hearing from you! creffett (talk) 00:35, 27 November 2019 (UTC)
