Welcome!
editHello, Jmeader24, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Adam 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.

Wikipedia Topics
editMercy B. Jackson: I would want to start a Wikipedia site for Mercy B. Jackson because she was someone who was interested in healing with homeopathic medicine. She initiated studying medicine herself, and then studied underneath a physician. She showed the strong drive to fulfill her dreams of being a physician and healing those who were in pain.
Harriot K. Hunt: She has a Wikipedia page, but it is merely one paragraph. I would want to find more information on Harriot and expand her Wikipedia page, by including her early life, her struggles with getting into medical school, and her accomplishments in the medical field. Also, there are sources where her name is spelt, Harriet, and on Wikipedia, it is spelt Harriot, so I want to get that straight as well.
Boston’s New England Female Medical School: I would want to expand this Wikipedia page and learn more about this medical school in history. I believe an institution like this in history deserves more than a couple paragraphs.
Rebecca Lee Crumpler: She does have a wikpedia page, but she was the first African American woman to become a physician. I would want to find more information on her and expand her page.
Ester Jane Hawks: A woman physician who graduated from Boston’s New England Female Medical School. What made me angry with this was, when I had clicked on her name to be directed to her Wikipedia page, I was directed to her husband’s wiki page, where she was mentioned. I would want to make a wiki page for her.
