IMO, will not be accepted as an article. The references are no-nos. As in not acceptable if the references are YouTube, blog, interviews with DHA, or only minimally mention her. What you want to find is articles written about DHA. At the list of books none of them should link anywhere. NO LINKS TO WEBSITES FROM WITHIN ARTICLES. That is what references and External links are for. For the External Links, only the first one (her website).

thank you for your time i really appreciate it

  • so i will remove ALL the book links
  • still mystified on what a good source is - in there i have one youtube link i can remove - but NPR? Scholastic Library Journal? Kidsread? these are all disinterested news sites I think - and those articles are specifically about her. "What you want to find is articles written about DHA." The HuffPo piece is specifically about her - and the link is in external links - yet you seem to be saying it's got to go? idk - seems kinda arbitrary - but i will keep plugging away at getting the swing of this

thanks for holding my hand through all this

First, congratulations on getting this accepted as an article. About those possible references - independent sources may mention a person, but if the content at that site is too short a reviewer will not consider the reference as valid support. For future articles what you want, minimally, is three references at which the topic is written about at some length. For this article, BIG PLUS that "The Moon Over Star" has its own Wikipedia article. David notMD (talk) 13:43, 3 April 2018 (UTC)Reply
