Hello, Gstew42, and

! My name is Shalor and I work with the Wiki Education Foundation; I help support students who are editing as part of a class assignment.

I hope you enjoy editing here. If you haven't already done so, please check out the student training library, which introduces you to editing and Wikipedia's core principles. You may also want to check out the Teahouse, a community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to helping new users. Below are some resources to help you get started editing.

Hi! I wanted to give you some feedback on your addition to the article for white feminism. First off, this is an interesting addition and something I hadn't heard before - which is something that can be good to add to Wikipedia.

What I was concerned about was mostly that you added this information without providing a source to show where you got this information. Be very careful when adding information and always make sure that you show where the claims have been stated by a reliable source, especially when adding something that could be seen as controversial. In this case the topic of abortion will always be inherently controversial to some degree and anything that mentions genocide (regardless of how the term is being used) will typically be something that people find controversial. Controversy means that the material will most likely be held to more scrutiny than other additions. You should also specify who is

In this situation I really, really recommend that you provide a source for this because when I google the terms "black genocide" and "abortion" I am presented with information that links the terms in a different way. Rather than say that the lack of access to abortion causes the black genocide, more sourcing applies the term to successful abortions. The ones I saw seem to present it as the act of abortion being the product of genocide than the lack of access, so this needs to be sourced as quickly as possible.
