Contribution to Mexican American Women's National Association Wiki Page
The items I plan to add to the page are as follows: 1. Pictures (Past & Present) of MANA 2. List of chapter locations and short descriptions 3. More info about what MANA is (history, chapter locations, activities, mission/goal, etc)

Most of this information will be pulled from their website

Article: Primary Source

The one portion of the article that distracted me was when it discussed how to classify between a primary or secondary source. However, with further thought I can see why the editor(s) included this, having an understanding of the differences between the two allow for a clearer picture of what a primary source is and what it is not. The article presented the information without any bias, the editor(s) presented the information in a neutral manner. I believe that the portion of the article discussing forgeries was over presented, in my opinion this subject did not necessarily need its own section. For the few citations that I checked, the links were active and the sources supported the information presented in the article. Throughout the article there were places where citations needed to be added; however, most information was cited and was drawn from sources that were more focused on presenting plain fact rather than pushing an agenda. A quick look at the Talk Page reveals that most comments lie in the grammar usage, sentence structure, and incongruent examples. This article is "of interest" for two WikiProjects, WikiProject History and WikiProject Libraries. The definition of a primary source and its differences from other sources supplied by Wikipedia is aligned to what is taught in class, the main difference is that this Wikipedia Article goes into depth about its history, how to find it, strength & weakness, etc.
