Hello, Sydneycurrie5, 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.

Hi! I have some notes. By large this is good - the writing looks neutral, but it needs some tweaks here and there. One of the these I did myself, to remove the use of the Pankhursts name after each of the daughters as this is a little repetitive. It's OK to use the first name in this type of situation, where you're listing a person's children where the children have the same name as them. Other than that, some of the writing feels a little general on the topic of women suffragettes, so it maybe could be tightened a little.

I'm also leery of maltaramc.com, as it doesn't really show where it has an editorial oversight and feels like a self-published source. I do see where it's used here as a source in an academic text, but I'd use this one with caution and not for any major claims. This one is a student group for SUNY, which makes it a self-published source as well. I wouldn't use this one, however, as there's no information about any type of editorial oversight and I don't really know that it's seen as a reliable source by other reliable sources. The other sources look to be fine, though.

I hope this helps! Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 15:49, 9 April 2019 (UTC)Reply
