Improving Food from the 'Hood
Hello Kelsey! Is the FftH article the one you yourself started? In either case, thanks so much for continuing to improve it; a lot of folks just stop entirely once they get a draft improved, but it helps a lot when folks show good follow-through to make sure their topic of interest has a strong article.

Feel free to shoot me a line if you have any questions about continued improvement, or if you prefer (or if I'm away) you can talk to the volunteer mentors at the WP:Teahouse who'll be glad to advise. Just make sure you post them a link to the article so they know what you're asking about.

Keep up the good work adding strong media/academic footnotes, which'll make it easier on any reader who wants to dig into the sources to get the full story. One suggestion: if you personally know anyone who would've taken photos of the FftH activities (like maybe you have an aunt or family friend who knows people involved and took photos in the 1990s) we can use those if they're willing to release the photos to the Public Domain. And in whichever case, if FftH has a specific logo, we can add that to the article under the WP:Fair use provision. So let me know if either of those is the case and you'd like help adding images.

Great work so far, and don't be shy about asking for help from the rest of the Wikipedia community. MatthewVanitas (talk) 18:04, 25 June 2013 (UTC)

Greetings, Matthew --

Yes, I am one of the people who was involved in FFTH. We have received numerous inquiries about the organization, and I thought it would be useful to create a Wikipedia entry to document the facts. This is my first attempt to create a Wikipedia entry and I must admit it's a little daunting. I will continue to attempt to edit -- writing in a less personal style and citing every source. I'd greatly appreciate it if you would watch this as it develops and offer tips as we go.

As for photos, I'm afraid that most of them are now gone (as is the organization). FFTH was before the days of digital photography, so it's a little tough. If you do a search under "food from the 'hood" in google, you can come up with numerous images, but I don't see any that would be in the public domain. Will keep looking though.

Thanks! Wikikelsey1 (talk) 01:32, 26 June 2013 (UTC)
