Hello, CarinaG1999, 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.

La Malinche
Greetings - I notice you are planning on making changes to La Malinche as part of a class assignment. Could I trouble you to describe what approach you intend to take? Unfortunately, Doña Marina has become a template for authors to see anything they want to see. At various times, we have seen this article changed to reflect that she was: And a few others. You'll find traces of each of these approaches in the article. Each of these, by the way, backed by impeccable sources - because serious historians are able to see whatever they want in her and get it published. The firmly documented information about her is so fragmentary that any conclusion is possible (and conclusions that she was all of the above and/or none of the above are also reasonable). I'm curious which tack you intend to take. Regards, Tarl N. ( discuss ) 16:43, 10 February 2020 (UTC)
 * A traitor to her race
 * A victim of pedophiles
 * A rape victim
 * A seductress
 * A powerful woman who changed the world
 * A victim with no ability to control her fate
 * La Chingada (seriously)
 * La Llorona

Response (email)
Hi! I took a look at your draft and have the following notes - these need to be worked on before this can be moved live.


 * This needs formatting to fit the typical layout for biographies. I would look to other, existing biographies for a guide. You can also review this brochure about editing or creationg biography articles. I'm also not sure if this is meant to be its own article or part of an existing one.


 * This needs more sourcing to establish how Jeanette Reese is notable outside of Browder v. Gayle. This can be done by finding sourcing that focuses on her rather than mentioning her in passing in relation to the trial.


 * Make sure that you maintain a neutral, formal tone - some of the writing here feels a little casual in places.

I hope that this helps! Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 21:52, 5 March 2020 (UTC)
