Hello, Bobadilla97, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Shalor and I work with the Wiki Education Foundation; I help support students who are editing as part of a class assignment.

I hope you enjoy editing here. If you haven't already done so, please check out the student training library, which introduces you to editing and Wikipedia's core principles. You may also want to check out the Teahouse, a community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to helping new users. Below are some resources to help you get started editing.

Motherhood penalty
Hi! I'm leaving a note here for you since you edited the article on motherhood penalty. I removed your content for several reasons, which I'll go into below in detail.

The content felt a little like a persuasive essay rather than a neutral encyclopedia article. While your passion is really awesome and as non-Wikipedia content it's honestly fantastic, it doesn't really fit into Wikipedia. Part of this is because the content was very sparsely sourced - when adding content, especially in areas that are even slightly controversial, you should source your content with multiple independent and reliable sources that explicitly back up the claims made in the article. This means that they have to specifically make the same claims, as anything else would be considered original research. Since only one source was used for the section it makes it seem more like original research than anything else and it's hard to verify the claims.

You should also make sure to attribute particular claims to their authors in the content. For example, the sentence "Often considered complementary interventions, their economic implications are likely to differ greatly." You need to specify who believed this would be complimentary and also who the person who is speculating that things are more likely to differ. Being too general, even if you are citing someone else's work and claims, can make something seem like it's your own idea or claim. This is one of the ways that Wikipedia differs from an academic work, as we can't include original research regardless of how well it's done or who makes it - it always has to come from a reliable source and the content needs to be sourced very well.

If you want help re-writing this, let me know and I'll try my best to help out! Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 19:02, 29 September 2017 (UTC)
