Feedback for the course assignment “Add to an article” (due 2/21/18)

I reviewed the citation you added to the Wikipedia article History of slavery in New Jersey.

The citation reads: Kennedy, Michael V. (2003-01-01). "THE HIDDEN ECONOMY OF SLAVERY: COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL HIRING IN PENNSYLVANIA, NEW JERSEY AND DELAWARE, 1728-1800". Essays in Economic and Business History. 21 (1). ISSN 0896-226X.

and another one is: Gigantino, James J. "TRADING IN JERSEY SOULS:". Pennsylvania History: A Journal of Mid-Atlantic Studies. 77 (3): 282. doi:10.5325/pennhistory.77.3.0281.

This assignment is evaluated on 3 criteria:

Part 1 - completion of training module "Sources & Citations"

Done

Part 2 - Wikipedia tech skills (was the citation added correctly?)

Good, citation entered correctly. One thing you may want to fix: the Hidden Economy of Slavery article URL currently leads to https://doaj.org, which is not really the right link for the article. A good link for this article would be http://www.ebhsoc.org/journal/index.php/journal/article/view/102.

Part 3 - citation content (Is this reference appropriate for the Wikipedia article? Is this a reliable secondary source highlighting historical scholarship on the subject? Is all the citation information complete such as a page number for a book or URL for a website?)

Great, the sources are appropriate and the citation is complete with page numbers.
