Opinions
I like the idea of focusing on just one woman, Ume Warqa, and her article page is only a few sentences so we can build onto it.--Ashley.harrison21 (talk) 15:47, 10 November 2011 (UTC)

Hey Ashley, I was wondering if you could help me with citing my sources. Not sure why there is still an error. When I used my first reference I used the template so it used the long version and after that is all the short versions. However, do I add anything else? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kerri grant (talk • contribs) 04:02, 7 December 2011 (UTC)
