Since most of Mamie Phipps Clark's research projects were done with her husband I thought it was reasonable for them to share a Wikipedia page, however, I found the section on Mamie Phipps Clark was too general and lacked details and important information about her life. I edited the section on Mamie Phipps Clark by first adding information about her childhood. I then added information about the end of her undergraduate career and working in Charles Houston's law office. I added more about how she became interested in developmental psychology while she was getting her masters. I noted the historical importance of her receiving a doctoral degree from Columbia and then the jobs she had after graduating. I also noted the historical importance of the Northside Center and then added some information about her other contributions to the community. I think that my additions make for a much more complete picture of Mamie Phipps Clark.

I am now working on getting my references correctly formatted and also citing other Wikipedia articles within my article.

What you're doing looks good, Autumn. You might try publishing your contribution to Wikipedia to see what the reviewers say. Dperkins16 (talk) 20:24, 21 November 2012 (UTC)
