Hello, Antieed, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Shalor and I work with the Wiki Education Foundation; 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.

Notes

[edit]

Hi! I have some notes for you on Feminist Manifesto:

  • There are some point of view/subjective statements in the article. These should be avoided on Wikipedia unless they're attributed to the person making the claim along the lines of "This Person stated that...". The reason for this is that subjective statements won't be true for all readers - one may agree while the other will completely disagree with the statement. For example, this line is subjective:
The tone of the first line is bold and inviting.
Someone could argue that it's neither of those things, using whatever argument they had in their heads. Now if it was attributed to a specific person then that would be different since even if they believed otherwise, they couldn't argue against the fact that this is something that the specific person stated and believes.
  • You also want to avoid original research - we can only summarize content. We can't create connections or make conclusions that aren't explicitly stated in the source used. So for example, we can't say that Don't Be Quiet, start a Riot! was inspired by the Feminist Manifesto unless it's explicitly stated by Rosenberg or there's a reliable source that makes this connection, as Loy is probably not the first person to discuss the human voice and its importance to feminism.
  • This needs more independent, reliable sources that discuss the work in question - looking at the sourcing, it looks like much of it is either primary (written by Loy or people/organizations affiliated with her) or doesn't mention the Feminist Manifesto. While you can use these sources to back up certain claims, they cannot establish notability for the work itself, which is necessary for the article. We need to be able to show where the work is independently notable outside of the author.

I hope this all helps! Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 14:19, 11 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
