Thankyou for your contributions on Education in Nigeria, have a look at our tutorial to learn more about editing Wikipedia.

It seems you have interest in writting an article about the progress of women's educational liberation in Nigeria. Would suggest you start a subpage right away and start getting your work done. Make sure you are logged-in and check the top of each wikipedia page here you will find your My sandbox. or click on either of the red links here:User:Mpyles91/Sandbox/Women's education (Nigeria) to get started.

Some hints and tips
Hi Mpyles91, glad to see you have written the material that is now in the article Women in education in Nigeria. It's a slightly clumsy name, but the other women in education articles and categories exist as "women in education" rather than "women and education", so it seemed sensible to follow the pattern. On Wikipedia, when we have a detailed article on a topic, we just have a brief summary on the main article (Education in Nigeria) and then it links off into the detailed article, so people can drill down for information.

As for the article itself, it's very detailed article and densely referenced. This is good. The style is dense though: it does read more like a development report and not quite like a Wikipedia article. There's a lot of redundant sentences and prose that can be significantly tightened up. I've popped a copy edit tag on the article, so hopefully people will pop along and fix it up for you. I've pasted a list of links below that might give you some advice on how to brush up the prose...

If you've need any advice or want assistance, please feel free to ask me, talk to people involved in various WikiProjects (WikiProject Nigeria, WikiProject Feminism and WikiProject Education might be able to help), or leave any questions you have at Teahouse, which is a new place on Wikipedia where friendly volunteers help new editors. —Tom Morris (talk) 20:18, 12 April 2012 (UTC)
