Feedback requested

Hi, Camilla Latin. What is the intended title and topic for this article? It's not clear to me. Adam (Wiki Ed) (talk) 18:50, 19 April 2016 (UTC)

Hi Adam, I am so sorry I am responding so late. I was expecting a response in my email. To answer your question my intended topic is the Great Slave Auction or the auction known as "The Weeping Time" I think I may edit it again. Question: is the biography about Pierce Butler making it unclear? Should I remove it all together? Camilla Latin (talk) 17:25, 26 April 2016 (UTC)Y

• It's ok! I've edited the draft a bit to create an introduction section. If your goal is to make an article on the Great slave auction, try to (first) write a short article indicating:
  • What it is, when it happened, why it happened. This should include support for the claim that it was the largest auction ever (preferably with more than one source supporting that claim).
  • Some biographical information about Butler and his finances might be helpful to establish context for the sale, perhaps more important than a note that the rain stopped at the end of the sale and champagne was served.
• Wikipedia articles are normally cited with references next to the claims they're supporting. You've got a list of general references at the end and that's fine to start but you'll want to add in some, especially for the more detailed or bold claims. Also direct quotes require inline citations. I've added one to your draft to show you how they might look. I hope this helps. Let me know if you have other questions?

Hi Adam, I have submitted my final draft for your review. I would like to have this live and ready to go by next Monday, May 16. Please give it a review and let me know what changes need to be made so I can make that happen. Thanks for your assistance.Camilla Latin (talk) 21:46, 12 May 2016 (UTC)

Hi. Adam is off today, but I'm sure he'll see this tomorrow. In the interim, is there something urgent I can help you with? Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 21:59, 12 May 2016 (UTC) Hi Ian, Nothing urgent, thank you for responding. I was just letting him know that I submitted my page for review.Camilla Latin (talk) 03:31, 13 May 2016 (UTC) Hi Ian, is Adam in today? if he isn't can you give me feedback on my page? I guess, it has turned to urgent. Thanks a lotCamilla Latin (talk) 19:11, 13 May 2016 (UTC)
