Welcome!

Hello, Kyleredsitty, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Shalor 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.

Sourcing

Please read WP:CITE and the related pages about how to properly add and cite content. The additions you're making are not formatted properly. You are also re-adding removed content without engaging on article talk. Best, - CorbieVreccan ^☊ ☼ 21:35, 8 October 2019 (UTC)

• Thanks CorbieVreccan! Kyleredsitty, with sourcing it's important that the source discusses the specific topic at hand, which is Native American feminism, or it is generally considered to be a text that falls within the realm of the topic. If the text doesn't discuss NAF or isn't considered to be about it, then it can be seen as original research to connect the text with the topic. You also want to make sure that this stays central on the topic of NAF and as CorbieVreccan stated on the article's talk page, doesn't go off focus. Also, keep in mind that although something may involve women, this doesn't always automatically make it applicable to NAF per se. Some of it greatly depends on how the author (or others) identify the work or themselves.

So to use feminism in general as an example, a female author could write about the difference in wages between men and women but not consider her work to be feminist in scope. There have actually been women who will do, say, or write things that could be seen as feminist but will specifically say that it's not. It may seem like it's splitting hairs and maybe it is to a degree, but it's important to be careful since otherwise this could be seen as original research. I hope that this makes sense, since I know it's something that can be a bit frustrating. Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 19:41, 9 October 2019 (UTC)
