Outside sources[edit]

I can see that you've done a lot of archival research, which is great! At this stage, I think you need more outside sources, from reliable newspapers. A Google News search will give you a starting place, for example: http://usatoday30.usatoday.com/news/nation/2007-07-10-chinese_N.htm

See if you can find more articles like that, discussing the association and its work in the regional or national newspapers. There are also lots of results in Google Books, giving you the titles of likely sources you could then find in the library.AmandaRR123 (talk) 16:42, 13 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Citation[edit]

I would suggest the sfn way to cite it is an easier way to cite from the archives. I did them for you below and all thats missing is the author for the CPA workers center proposal. Create a bibliography page and copy paste this onto there.

Secondary sources[edit]

Maybe look into the Boston Globe or other newspapers and try to find more information about what they do or what have they done. Latifaak (talk) 16:12, 17 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Notes[edit]

I am so sorry to reply to that late. I have tried to come up with some useful feedbacks to you in the past a few days, but your article looks good to me. It was hard to comment it. Just a few small suggestions based on my own thoughts:

1) Are there any specific founder's names you can find? If you can list some names there, it would be clear to readers to know rather than saying a group of people. 2) Two section headers "CPA's Mission" and "Membership and Activities", I think you can combine them together as "CPA's Mission and activities". I thought mission and activity can be one part; there were some activities they did in order to achieve their mission. 3) Capitalization of section headers. Only the first word is capitalized. Like "Membership and Activities" should be "Membership and activities" I did it wrong in my article as well, another wikipedian pointed out my errors.

There are no big suggestions for you, just a few comments. I hope it helps.Yulu Lei (talk) 00:24, 28 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
