Welcome!
[edit]Hello, Berg-10990, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Elysia 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.

The article "True Womanhood" Revolutionized has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
An essay, not a clear encyclopedic topic (women's liberation as such is already discussed in many articles)
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

- Fram, thanks for the note. I have moved this article to the student's sandbox for the reasons you pointed out, as well as the fact that it is sourced almost entirely with other Wikipedia articles. Elysia (Wiki Ed) (talk) 15:29, 4 December 2019 (UTC)
Feedback on your article
[edit]Hi Berg-10990, I noticed that your article on "True Womanhood" Revolutionized was not up to Wikipedia standards, so I have moved it to a sandbox of yours. You can find it User:Berg-10990/sandbox1. There were several issues with the article:
- It is sourced almost entirely to Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not considered a reliable source, and therefore cannot be used to cite other Wikipedia articles. For more information about reliable sources, please see this training slide.
- It comes across as an essay. Wikipedia articles are not essays. The writer is not trying to persuade the reader.
- You are duplicating content from other articles in a way that isn't really compatible with Wikipedia's goals to have one article per topic. There's an article about Feminism, Women's history, and Women's rights already. Think about if what you'd like to write about is distinct from those topics.
- Additionally, your article scope is quite narrow to the concept of womanhood in the West (Europe and North America, particularly). Wikipedia articles should have a global perspective unless specifically written otherwise (Feminism in the United States).
A better option for you may be to improve an existing article. I recommend you explore Category:Women's rights. Make sure that any of your additions to articles are cited with reliable sources. Please reply below or email at elysia@wikiedu.org if you have questions. Elysia (Wiki Ed) (talk) 15:38, 4 December 2019 (UTC)
The article "True Womanhood in U.S. and England" Revolutionized has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
An essay dressed up as an article. Clearly created to push a very particular point of view on the subject. Appropriate for a blog, not appropriate as an encyclopedia article.
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

- Please stop trying to create this article. It is not appropriate for an encyclopedia. Can I suggest you read (and follow) our core policies on maintaining a neutral point of view and avoiding original research? Thanks, The Mirror Cracked (talk) 06:20, 9 December 2019 (UTC)
