editHello, Lsquier99, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Adam 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.

Plumes
editHi, Lsquier99. I've taken a look at your draft and I have a few comments/questions:
- What is the "influential opportunity magazine"? Is that their full name? Do they have a wikipedia article or is there an archive giving us any information about the contest?
- Your source on the section heading "About the Author" links to an EZproxy page for your university. It is ok to cite sources behind a paywall, but the link to those sources should be something that a reader will experience the same way.
- Georgia Douglas Johnson has a wikipedia article and we link to it, so this article doesn't need a section on "about the author" unless it provides specific context for the play. The same with other plays (which I removed in an edit). A reader lands on the Plumes page to learn about the play, so we should strive as much as possible to make the content about that. I know this means you're going to end up with a pretty short article, but that's ok! Short, well referenced articles are valuable to wikipedia.
- Likewise, the section on the Harlem Renaissance should be removed or rewritten to be about the impact of/importance to the play or HR (as the case may be, I haven't read your sources). Like the author, if the reader is given a link to explore that particular topic, they probably only need a brief summary of the relevant parts if at all on the page.
- I also think you should ask one of your classmates to check this draft for typos or grammatical errors.
I hope this helps. Let me know if you have any trouble with the above or need a hand. Adam (Wiki Ed) (talk) 15:42, 14 April 2016 (UTC)
