Fat feminism

Jelcohen, Welcome to Wikipedia. Regarding your comment at Talk:Fat feminism: be sure to keep verifiability in mind, find reliable sources and add citations for the content you add. Prefer a series of small changes with a full and explanatory edit summary for each one over a single, large edit. Also, please see WP:TALK and add your talk page comments at the bottom of the page, not at the top.

Good luck, and once again, Welcome. Mathglot (talk) 18:46, 27 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Maternity clothing

Hi! You added an unmarked quote to an article, which set off our copyright/plagiarism detector. Always make sure that you add quotation marks to quotes. You did this with the other material you added, so this looks to have been an accident. On a related note, try to avoid overquoting and write everything in your own words as much as possible. The specific portion I'm referring to with this is "For first time pregnant women making the transition to motherhood clothing the body can be a complex act. What women wear during pregnancy speaks volumes about their subjectivities—what they reveal, what they conceal, what images they create, for whom and where."

I also wanted to talk to you a little with studies. When mentioning studies make sure that you include a secondary, independent source that mentions the study. The reason for adding this is that the secondary source will help show that the study is notable enough to highlight in an article. It'll also help show that the study's findings were verified. Per Google Scholar it looks like it's been cited by 52 other writings, so it shouldn't be hard. Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 13:37, 22 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
