Hello, Montananelson, and welcome to Wikipedia! 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.

Response

Hi! I have some notes for you:

• Be cautious with the use of quotes - make sure that it's necessary for it to be used. Essentially, make sure that it doesn't look like scare quotes.
• This needs more sourcing for the claims. It looks like there are some sources in the existing section on differences between the types of feminism, so feel free to reuse those as well as to look for more sourcing.
• The footbinding section needs to be written as to how feminists in China approach the practice of footbinding. The article on the topic already has the history, so what you need to focus on here is how it ties into feminism in China in specific. It obviously does, but this needs to have information on it along the lines of how major of an issue this is for feminism over the years - has it increased or decreased in importance? How have feminists in China addressed this issue? Have they received any notable backlash? Things like that.
• Avoid things like "in fact", as these are just a little too casual for Wikipedia. Your writing is generally good, just be careful for the little things like this that will pop up out of habit. (This can sometimes be kind of difficult since they're so prevalent in our everyday writing.)

I hope that this all helps - I think that you're on a good path here, it just needs a little work. Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 17:31, 8 April 2019 (UTC)
