Draft comments
just a few comments reading over your draft: It looks like this draft is off to a good start. Let me know if you have any questions. Adam (Wiki Ed) (talk) 19:31, 27 October 2014 (UTC) Thank you for your comments. I appreciate it. Lady Miyazawa (talk) 01:34, 30 October 2014 (UTC)Lady Miyazawa
 * It looks like you've done a good job working out which sources to use in the article.
 * In your draft you have a lot of extraneous bits around quotes or references to news articles, e.g. "A quote from her:". If we're quoting someone and providing their name and an inline citation to a suorce, we often don't need to mention the source. quotes should also be integrated into sentences, we can follow up the general summary of her comments on mass graves with a specific example using her quote sometimes just as easily as saying "she elaborated "...""
 * Should the paragraph on Samory Toure's camps come after the part where we note the sourcing of ceramics?

I will add periods but there is something going on with the page: With one of my citations: Investigation of Trace...; there is a weird box and it is messing with the citation. May I receive assistance? Lady Miyazawa (talk) 01:09, 2 November 2014 (UTC)Lady Miyazawa
 * I've reformatted that ref, since copying and pasting citation info into Wikipedia often leads to formatting problems. I was wondering if there was a reason to list the references if you're going to cite them in the footnotes anyway? In any case, you're making good progress! Ninafundisha (talk) 03:30, 2 November 2014 (UTC)

Oh, so we don't need the references then. okay I will take care of it.Lady Miyazawa (talk) 04:59, 2 November 2014 (UTC)Lady Miyazawa


 * It looks like you have some named references without the actual reference. For instance you have in the page source but if you want it to render you'd need to define a reference somewhere like (otherwise the software doesn't know where your named reference points to). Take a look at this page to see what I mean. You can do one of two things here. First, you could remove the named references and just reference each individually. Second, you could use named references but define them the first time you use them (or really anytime, so long as it is on the page, but the first time works best).
 * Alternately, you can list the references at the bottom of the page and instead of disambiguating by reference naming (which is mostly for the software that makes the page and not for readers) just use author, date, page in the individual references. See Comet (magazine) for an example of that style. Adam (Wiki Ed) (talk) 17:18, 3 November 2014 (UTC)

I have looked at the examples you provided and my classmates; the references are almost perfect but I am missing some of my Information (they have the ) but it doesn't show in the article. Did I do anything wrong? Let me know as soon as possible. I apologize for being a bother. Thank you for your help. Sorry! Lady Miyazawa (talk) 04:25, 7 November 2014 (UTC)LadyMiyazawa
