Hill Parents Association draft
Hello! I saw you started the Hill Parents Association draft; awesome work! :) I added a couple templates & some basic outlining (which you can change &/or delete as you like!), but mostly wanted to let you know:

1) The person who wrote most of that scholarship, Yohuru Williams, also wrote a dissertation with ~20 super thorough (& clearly-written!) pages on the HPA: No Haven: Civil Rights, Black Power, and Black Panthers in New Haven, Connecticut, 1956-1971. (There's also a book, but it was significantly Less Free for me...) The dissertation's ProQuest ID is 304436285, & everything else is in the ref; if you have online library access of some kind (I assume, given the edit-a-thon?), you can probably find it. Download that & it'll be a *breeze* to turn your draft into a quality article––just make sure you aren't copying verbatim or anything, & cite everything you use even if it feels goofy to keep adding a ref after every 1-2 sentences.

2) I've made reference name shortcuts for the three Williams citations in that draft––so for example, if you want to cite Williams's dissertation, published in 1998, you just copy/paste this after your punctuation:

It'll convert to a nice little reference (like this→); same thing for the 2010 and 2019 Williams refs, just swap out the year. This way you don't need to fill in a whole new citation every time you refer to a thing, & it's easy to see from the bottom how often a reference is used. :D

Okay, happy Wiki-ing... // Knifegames (talk) 09:12, 25 February 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for these tips and for the lead on on the Williams dissertation and book! This is super helpful as I continue working on the article. Jayellsea (talk) 13:48, 25 February 2021 (UTC)
