Help us improve the Wikipedia Education Program
Hi Jumpinjad! As a student editor on Wikipedia, you have a lot of valuable experience about what it's like to edit as a part of a classroom assignment. In order to help other students like you enjoy editing while contributing positively to Wikipedia, it's extremely helpful to hear from real student editors about their challenges, successes, and support needs. Please take a few minutes to answer these questions by clicking below. (Note that the responses are posted to a public wiki page.) Thanks!

Gender inequality in Sudan
It's good to see schools and students improving Wikipedia. Your contribution, Gender inequality in Sudan, was a lot better than some of the stuff that gets declined.

However, the article you submitted should have been reviewed more closely before it was moved into the main encyclopedia. In particular, it had, and still has, some major issues. I've listed these at the top of the article.

I did some cleanup work and put a lot of cleanup tags on it ([//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Gender_inequality_in_Sudan&diff=550217418&oldid=550202455 my changes]). I fixed minor issues like spelling, missing URLs from references, deleted references that were just Wikipedia articles (see WP:Reliable sources) etc. but I am not familiar enough with the subject matter to re-write it to conform to Wikipedia's standards. If you have time, consider re-writing the article (if you don't have time, it will sit there until someone else does, or until someone else notices and the article is nominated for deletion and possibly deleted). If you do take the time to rewrite it, please make sure that you don't use sources from a few years ago to talk about the current political state of affairs in Sudan - the political situation in Africa has changed in the last few years.

You may want to join the WikiProjects that I linked to on the article's talk page and get input from experienced editors there.

You may find the underconstruction template useful to prevent others from trying to edit the article at the same time you are editing it. davidwr/ (talk)/(contribs)/(e-mail)  22:16, 13 April 2013 (UTC)
