Talk:Women in Guyana

Cracks Knuckles
Time to fix this article. I think "expert attention needed" is a very intimidating banner, but the reality is this article needs CARE, not perfection. There are no FA quality "Women in _" country articles to model from, the closest is GA article Women in Classical Athens but it's for a specific historical period and doesn't address multi-ethnic issues. Social topics aren't my forte, but I enjoy making classical topics (like business or science) more well-rounded and inclusive.

I've definitely seen RS content while fixing other articles, so I'm confident I can build this article up even with publicly accessible journals and scholarly papers. As with any broad-scope article about Guyana, I'm going to break it up into the major periods; colonial Guiana, Burnham-era, and post-Burnham/contemporary. Within that are the major ethnic segments that placed different expectations on women's roles in society; indigenous, African, European, and Indian-descent, etc. Suicide is a major issue, and other sensitive subjects like prostitution and sex-related violence will need sections. Accomplishments, business and legal rights are also major topics of note.

I claim no expertise or ownership, just a note to make clear my intention and prevent edit conflict. Cheers, Estheim (talk) 13:52, 8 January 2021 (UTC)

Poorly worded perhaps
, hey thanks for helping me with this article. I think there's some bad feelings towards my attempt at keeping edits as close to the source language as possible- but the main point of the source was something like:

"Even though mixed-race people have been used to symbolize national unity (*for political purposes), mixed race relationships and individuals still face discrimination."

Do you think that's an improvement? Estheim (talk) 00:52, 11 April 2021 (UTC)

Very very late response. You misspelled my name, and the whole Talk page system fails. Yeah, it's fine.KittenKlub (talk) 19:25, 13 December 2021 (UTC)
