Hey Pedro! Good job on these articles, they're all very interesting.

I have a couple small suggestions that might help. First, for the first paragraph of Alida Garcia, I think it would be useful to be more concise. Perhaps a sentence like this as an example... "As an undergraduate at Stanford University, Garcia began her career as an activist, getting arrested during her first semester". I would also add a source for this part "something her parents were very proud of her for." <- or just leave it out in general, unless you feel it's truly necessary. Perhaps in the sentence Thurgood Marshall, who use "the rule of law to create systematic change for millions of people"[1] inspired her to pursue social change through studies at Columbia Law School", I would swap out the beginning for something like "Feeling inspired by Thurgood Marshall's quote "the rule of law to create systematic change for millions of people", Garcia..." For the sentence "She then decided to volunteer for Obama's 2008 presidential election as the California Latino Vote Deputy Director in Los Angeles.[2]", I would recommend just stating that she worked for Obama instead of saying "She then decided"; just stating the facts.

For the source on "the story of the boy that helped Mark Zuckerberg decide to embark on this journey", I couldn't find a lot of information as to the guy's name or information. I would probably only mention this in maybe less than a sentence as an inspiration, unless you find another valuable source that provides more detail.

Your outline looks good for the other articles. Overall great work and looking forward to reading the completed articles! Jerryfu10 (talk) 02:02, 30 October 2016 (UTC)

Hey! thanks for the feedback! I will definitely make those changes especially as I find more content that may be relevant to the articles .As for the Mark Zuckerberg story I might just remove it from the outline. As you mentioned it doesn't seem like a very relevant point needed in the Wikipedia page.
