The "LGBTQ Equality" article is great! I think although it can be a touchy subject, it seems to remain very objective, which is a good call given the guidelines of wiki. Good job!! Mdonal12 (talk) 00:52, 11 October 2018 (UTC)

Hi! This week the assignment is to start moving your work live. I'm not really sure where your sandbox material is meant to go, since you have so many articles assigned to yourself in the same topic area. Some things I do want to note:


 * The contribution is written a little bit from a point of passion/emotion. I whole heartedly agree with the sentiments, but the content needs to be written in a neutral tone.
 * The section is unsourced, so the section needs independent, reliable sources to back up the claims.
 * Keep in mind that the average article should have a global perspective. This specific section examines LGBT equality in the USA, so it would need more of a global perspective. There is an article on LGBT in the United States, so that would be the best place - however they do already have a section on equality and rights at LGBT rights. My recommendation here is to fix/expand the section on LGBT interest groups, as it's unsourced and may need to be updated. Maybe a little history on LGBT interest groups in the United States?

You may also want to look at improving a section in the article on Media portrayal of LGBT people, specifically the section on marketing to the LGBT community since it's so small. Here are some sources that I found in your library website that could be useful to this end:, , , , , (this one details LGBT marketing in India. You could also, of course, use any of the sourcing and content in the existing article on LGBT marketing to build up this section - just keep in mind that the main focus should be on how LGBT people are portrayed. The article on Pinkwashing (LGBT) could also be useful to this end.

Let me know if any of this is helpful to you! Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 15:20, 31 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Hi - I took a look at the sourcing and it looks like the sourcing is empty - I believe that the sources are meant to correlate with those at the end, however what you need to do is place these citations in-line by following the directions here. Now as far as putting the content in your sandbox goes, it's not the same as publishing it live in an article. However since the section still needs work, that's not a bad thing. Also, which article is the content supposed to go into? Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 20:33, 1 November 2018 (UTC)

The Struggle to Reach LGBTQ Equality
Hey, I'm a new page patroller and I reviewed the article you started, The Struggle to Reach LGBTQ Equality. It seemed that the article was essentially a shorter version of the article that I redirected to, LGBT social movements. For more information, please see WP:CFORK and WP:ESSAY. signed,Rosguill talk 06:28, 2 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Hi Nia! I think that the best option here would be to look and see what you can use to help expand the main article. Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 14:42, 2 November 2018 (UTC)
