An article on gender inequality indexing is a great idea! Have you checked out Gender inequality and Income inequality metrics? Those seem like launching points from which to start your project. Write if you have questions! Blue Rasberry (talk) 22:54, 5 March 2012 (UTC)

A question

I do have a real question about editing my page. I am wonder how I would add sections? Thank you for your help. (Teashias (talk) 04:06, 14 March 2012 (UTC))

Regarding Gender Inequality Index

Regarding your talk page proposal, you generally do not have to propose a page before writing it. Please see the guideline on writing your first article or work with your class instructor on creating the article. Your instructor may have a preferred structure on how and where you should do to write the article so that you receive the proper course credit. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 08:39, 19 March 2012 (UTC)

Talk Page Deleted

I am required to create a talk page under the article I am going to create/edit. Being that my article is not created yet I created the talk page first. It was an assignment in order to get feedback on the article creation/edit process. I am not really sure where I should create this talk page if not under my article? Thank you for informing of the incorrect process. Teashias (talk) 23:40, 19 March 2012 (UTC)

One place to create an article you are working on, before it is in a state where it will survive is in your user space. For instance you could create User:Teashias/Gender Inequality Index - which will be a new page in your user area. Then you can make a talk page for it, work on both the pages until they are adequate to become an article, then move them into article space.

At this point, since the talk page is out there - just go ahead and create the article. (Don't have to get the article polished, even a one paragraph stub with a reference or two will do. Just enough to make it clear that there is a significant topic here so it won't be quick deleted.) Zodon (talk) 00:26, 1 April 2012 (UTC)

I have the article (work in progress) in my sandbox now. Is there anything I should write/do to note it is a work in progress Teashias (talk) 00:31, 1 April 2012 (UTC)

Using your sandbox is fine. Sorry, I missed it among the other boxes on your user page. Saw your question here and didn't know if you had worked out an answer.

No special marking needed (there is an automatically displayed sandbox header). However you should not have it listed in categories until it is an article (user pages are not supposed to be in regular article categories). The easy way to deal with this is to put a colon at the beginning of the category listings (like this [[:Category:Economics]]). Then the page will not be listed in the category. When you move it to article space, just remove the leading colon.

Just a side note - reproductive health is another article that might be relevant to wikilink to. Zodon (talk) 01:03, 1 April 2012 (UTC)

Hey thanks so much for your help. This Wiki editing really takes some getting used to. I put the categories there just so I could cut and paste the entire thing once I was done but since I already put the categories on the actual article I will just delete them from the sandbox. I really enjoy the banners they are super fun. I can only wonder if I am over doing it. To bad Facebook doesn't have those. Teashias (talk) 01:08, 1 April 2012 (UTC)
