I think this an excellent start for your Wikipedia article on g-dropping. The Lead is concise and does a very good job at providing viewers with essential knowledge about what g-dropping is; however, I think it would be helpful to include a brief overview of the other sections of your article (History, Linguistic Phenomenon, etc.) just so viewers can have insight into the other information your article will provide. For example, it may be helpful to mention in the Lead that g-dropping has evolved throughout history or that it is prevalent in Southern speech and then expand upon this—as you already have—in the corresponding sections. There are a few minor grammatical/spelling issues, such as the typo “teh” in the History section instead of “the,” but these are few and easily correctable. Your article’s sources are also expansive and reliable, coming from a number of scholarly journals and books, so good work in your selection. The information you have pulled from them is certainly relevant, and it better helps readers understand where g-dropping comes from as well as where it can be observed. I know you are not finished working on the other sections of this article, so I recommend finding similar sources to adapt your information from and keeping this information concise and relevant as you already have.
