Welcome
[edit]Hello, Brianagoud and welcome to Wikipedia! It appears you are participating in a class project. If you haven't done so already, we encourage you to go through our training for students.
If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place {{Help me}} before the question. Please also read this helpful advice for students.
Before you create an article, make sure you understand what kind of articles are accepted here. Remember: Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and while many topics are encyclopedic, some things are not.
Your instructor or professor may wish to set up a course page, and if your class doesn't already have one please tell your instructor about that. It is highly recommended that you place this text: {{Educational assignment}} on the talk page of any articles you are working on as part of your Wikipedia-related course assignment. This will let other editors know this article is a subject of an educational assignment and aid your communication with them.
We hope you like it here and encourage you to stay even after your assignment is finished! Regards, CoconutPaste (talk) 16:26, 22 January 2016 (UTC)

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.

Topic Ideas For Wiki Project
[edit]Research and list 3–5 articles on your Wikipedia user page that you will consider working on as your main project. Look at the talk page for existing topics for a sense of who else is working on it and what they're doing. Describe your choices to your instructor for feedback."

Response to Possible Topics
[edit]You've identified three interesting women. Both Mott and Anthony's pages are pretty extensive and I'm concerned that you'll have difficulty adding new information. Shepard is a possibility -- you would need good secondary sources. You could do some preliminary library catalog searching to see what's out there. If you can find some books/articles then you know you can move forward.
You do not necessarily need to find a woman who does not yet have a page, but a good subject needs to have some "gaps" that you can add to.
See the handout on BB from the UNE librarians -- there are several good subjects on that list. We can also meet to search for some possibilities, too. Let me know if that would help. Edw04005 (talk) 21:32, 15 February 2016 (UTC)

Inline references
[edit]Hi, Brianagoud. Thanks for your work on Margaret Jane Mussey Sweat. You have inline references for much of the article, but the early life section doesn't seem to be referenced. Referencing that will make it easier for editors working on the page to verify claims, without them it's hard to know how much to trust content on wikipedia. If those sections are sourced from work in the archives, let me know and I'll tell you how to source that and how to use those sources in text. Adam (Wiki Ed) (talk) 20:47, 20 April 2016 (UTC)
