Welcome!
Hello, Cathyyyw, 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. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me on my talk page. Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 18:16, 8 October 2018 (UTC)

Female Education
Hi, this page was up for deletion because of an issue with copyright - it looks like you copied material verbatim from this source. With any source, you need to be extra careful to ensure that the material has been released into the public domain or under a compatible Creative Commons license (CC-BY or CC-BY-SA, although some content is released without a copyright, CC0). Unless these are very specifically marked, always assume that the material has been released under a restrictive copyright that would not allow it to be copied to Wikipedia, even if the entirety of the publication is available on the Internet. Something may be open access or publicly accessible, but still be copyrighted in a way that would prevent us from copying it onto Wikipedia. For example, Europe PMC's copyright page states that its material is copyrighted to its respective copyright holders and as such, is subject to whatever copyright they placed it under. In the case of this study, it looks like it was published through the Journal of Marriage and Family, which copyrights its material under a restrictive copyright that would not allow us to post the material verbatim to Wikipedia in the way you have here. Copyright can honestly be fairly difficult to navigate sometimes, as there are a lot of things to take into consideration, which is why it's always better to write the material in your own words. I would still like you to re-take this training module on plagiarism, though.

Issues of copyright aside, there are other issues with the article, the first being that it duplicates the existing article at female education. If this is meant to be a new topic such as female education and health, the title needs to reflect on that and the article should be solely about the topic of how female education impacts health. The article you've made is fairly general and covers not only health, but also domestic abuse and culture.

Another issue is that the article reads too much like an essay on the topic of female education. We can only summarize what has been explicitly stated in the source material and the writing should be neutral and not read as more of a narrative. It should not ask questions or pose solutions, such as in the section "How to reduce the risk of IPV for women by education?", as we cannot write persuasively in order to argue a specific point. "If... then..." statements should also be avoided.

Finally, always be careful with sources. Some of the sources you've used are studies, which are seen as primary sources for the claims and research conducted by their authors. These studies aren't fully verified or put into context by their publishers, as these books, journals, or other outlets are fairly limited in what they can do. As such, they really only look to make sure that there aren't any glaring errors that would invalidate the studies. It's up to secondary sources to provide this verification - along with putting the studies into a wider context. That leads to another issue with studies: they only cover a small portion of a population or scenario. A study's findings are really only true for the participants of that study. There are a lot of cultural and societal differences between countries, for example - a woman in Saudi Arabia will not have the exact same experience as a woman in Peru. To that end, a wealthy woman living in Lima, Peru would not have the same experience as a woman living in poverty in the same city. The secondary sources help put the study into a wider, more general context. There's also a bit of a question as far as the choice of studies, as the secondary sources help show why a specific study is more important than another, similar study that may provide different results.

Since there's an issue with copyright I've removed the article for the time being but will email you a copy of your work. What I recommend is that you look at seeing what can be merged into the existing article on female education as far as your work goes. Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 16:18, 6 November 2018 (UTC)
