Time's Up history

[edit]

Hi. I've been pinged into a discussion you raised on another user's talk page. I'm looking through the article now (as I would for a typical good article nomination, though I'm not expecting that level of detail on a first draft) and copyediting it for clarity. I've also got a few questions:

  • Who are the "Alianza Nacional de Campesinas"?
  • What makes teenvogue.com a good source to use in a Wikipedia article?
  • As a general rule of thumb, I like to see claims like "On February 18, 2019, she stepped down after her son was accused of sexual misconduct." to have two citations. It's kind of inline with best practice for journalism - don't confirm a story unless you get it from two sources.
  • I haven't spot checked much of the news sources used in the article, simply because a lot of them are slow to load. I do mean to come back and do this later.

I hope that all makes sense, and if you've got any further questions, let me know.

My final question is, what do you intend to do with the draft - merge it into the "History" section of the existing article? Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 16:40, 8 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

As a side note to what Ritchie is saying above, you may want to look at WP:RSP to get a feel for what is and is not considered a reliable source for Wikipedia. The list is not exhaustive and there may be others that we generally accept but this is a great place to start. --ARoseWolf 14:53, 10 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
ARoseWolf, I have a tool to spot-check the reliability of sources, and nothing came up as a red flag. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 14:16, 11 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Ritchie333, look at you and your tools. :) My tool belt is empty. :( --ARoseWolf 14:27, 11 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Ritchie333 and ARoseWolf: Thank you both for your notes here. I have made some changes to the draft and have notes back to Ritchie333's questions:

  • Alianza Nacional de Campesinas is also known as the National Women's Farmworker's Alliance; I've added a brief description to the draft. Unfortunately, it doesn't have a Wikipedia page yet
  • Teen Vogue has been well-regarded for its social and political journalism in recent years. This is mentioned in the publication's Wikipedia article. The piece I've cited is a retrospective piece on Time's Up's progress, written by a journalist (she has also written for The Seattle Times and VICE, among others) and it confirmed a few details. I did a quick search and saw that Teen Vogue was used as a source in a few other Wikipedia articles, though perhaps there are specific reasons for those instances. If this source isn't appropriate, I can look into replacing it.
  • I added another source to confirm Lisa Borders stepping down. This content was taken directly from the current article, aside from a small copy edit I made.
  • My suggestion for adding it to the article is to replace the current History and Founding signatories section, if editors agree.

Hopefully these answers help! I really appreciate the feedback so far. Thanks, Hope with Time's Up (talk) 21:15, 11 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
