Women in the Black Panther Party article[edit]

Hello, thanks for writing this article! It looks like an interesting topic.

What you need to do now is add content to explain why (if) this should be an article in itself - separate from the main Black Panther Party article. Adding citations is undoubtedly the most important thing. You will want to add citations to reliable published sources, like books and news articles. The Google Books citation generator is often a great help here.

Writing in Wikipedia may feel strange at first. My advice is to keep all writing "neutral" and factual: writing nothing that's your opinion, or a synthesis or an essay combining sources together. So everything should be based on the sources you have. You may want to read some of Wikipedia's best or "featured" articles to get a sense of this.

In general, by the way, I recommend reading the "my first article" guide. This will tell you how to create an article draft and develop it before finally posting it, which is really the best way to write an article if you don't have much experience. But anyway, you've posted it now, so...

Hope this is all helpful. Blythwood (talk) 21:26, 29 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
