Hello, Dayaperez, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Ian and I work with Wiki Education; 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.

Christina Hernadnez article - feedback
Hi @Dayaperez& Jlbrandt, Good work starting off the article on Christina Hernandez. I've looked it over and made some minor edits, but I do have some feedback, before it gets moved to the mainspace.

Sources: You have sources from Nasa and Harvard, which are good but not necessarily independent of the subject (Christina), since she works for them. I suggest finding a couple more independent, secondary, reliable sources like newspaper articles to support the notability of the person, and to use as inline citations.

From a quick google search i found a couple that would be great:
 * https://www.npr.org/2021/02/21/969886082/nasa-scientist-discusses-her-work-on-the-perseverance-mars-rover-project
 * https://www.pasadenanow.com/main/jpl-mars-perseverance-team-members-to-be-recognized-at-hispanic-heritage-awards
 * https://magazine.calpoly.edu/spring-summer-2021/space-for-everyone/

When it comes to reliable sources, social media posts do not fall under that category bc anyone can write anything on social media. There's no peer review or fact checking. I'd remove the Twitter citation from the article.

Otherwise, I suggest doing a final run through to fix any sentences that might sound a bit off and such. And also take a look at Editing Wikipedia PDF, and go through it with the article draft open in another window to make sure you address all the important points. Great job so far! Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions. Brianda (Wiki Ed) (talk) 18:23, 18 April 2023 (UTC)
