Early career passage

The first 3-4 paragaphs in the Career section could use some rework and removal of redundancy. Sarah's name change to Madam C. J. Walker is mentioned twice, as well as A'Lelia's assumption of responsibilities for the mail order business. The chronology is hard to follow. We have the conference in 1917, and then we jump back to 1908 for the move to Pittsburgh. Dgorsline (talk) 01:33, 18 March 2015 (UTC)

I made additional edits that included removing more of the duplicate info; also put content a correct timeline of her career and activist/philanthropy work.Rosalina523 (talk) 22:14, 19 February 2016 (UTC)

External links

Most biographical articles conclude with an External links section. Is it ok to add that section with these two links for starters?

Madam C. J. Walker, official website

Madam C. J. Walker Papers at the Indiana Historical Society

Following the guidance at WP:EL, that heading is intended to cover links that are not already included as article references - and I believe those two sites are already included as references. In that case, there is no need for an "External links" section. Ghmyrtle (talk) 12:41, 5 March 2016 (UTC)

References to subpages of the official website are made, but there are no citation links to Walker's document and papers (historical collections) and it isn't in the bibliographical references section. Should the Walker papers collection guide be listed in the References sections, instead of External links? Rosalina523 (talk) 17:21, 8 March 2016 (UTC)

No. References are for the sources used in the article. Flyte35 (talk) 17:26, 8 March 2016 (UTC)
