Welcome!
Hello, Esteinbach, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Adam 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. Adam (Wiki Ed) (talk) 02:08, 21 January 2016 (UTC)

Possible Wiki Articles to edit or create:
1) Westbrook Seminary - This article is lacking a lot of available information. Thanks to UNE's archives, I would be able to have access to a few secondary sources about the history of the Seminary.

2) Zelia Lunt - This would be difficult since much of the sources on her are primary-- Would need to see if there are any secondary sources about who she was as a student/teacher of Westbrook Seminary.

3) Margaret Sweat - Would be a great addition to Maine history to have an article about a woman who wrote this influential piece of LGBT history.

4) J. Marion Sims - I would like to add to the small section on the work Sims did without consent on slaves. While he was the "father of gynecology" there is only a short mention of the procedures he did in his studying of the science.

5) Society for the Scientific Study of Sexuality - This page lacks in information on the different accomplishments of members throughout its history.

6) Bonnie Bullough - An accomplished Sexologist and published author, Bonnie Bullough was an influential researcher whose husband, Vern, has a wikipedia page while she does not. Esteinbach (talk) 18:55, 10 February 2016 (UTC)

These sound great. The key will be finding the secondary sources. I doubt you will find much on Lunt. We have great primary material on her, but I don't think there is much else written about her (yet). Your next step is to look for secondary sources for #s 3, 4, 5, and 6. There is a published history of Westbrook Seminary that has info. on the early years. And we do have archival information, some of which is secondary. For Sweat, take a look at scholarly journals. She is just starting to get some good attention. I don't know Bullough's work, but if she has published books, then there's bound to be good information. Very promising.
