Our problem for our article is that there was no article made for Beverly Greene. My questions were How many sources should we have for our article in general? and Is there any advice that you can give for creating a new page?sefran2 (talk) 23:43, 20 February 2018 (UTC)

Beverly Greene grew up in an environment where she was allowed to question things in the world and search for the why in everything. He parents wanted her to think outside the box. She became interested in how people became who they are and how to use that information. This was the start of her studies. She became of aware of the complexity of the human brain and wanted to know more. She started out at New York University where she graduated with her bachelor's degree in psychology in 1973. This is really where she began to flourish and get intrigued by feminism and how this ties in with psychology. After that, she moved on to Demer Institute, Adelphi University where she got her Master Degree in 1977 and PhD in 1983 in Clinical psychology, Green has done a lot of work within feminist psychology where she primarily works with people who marginalized for their race, class, gender and sexual orientation.

She found that the feminist groups were more interested in hearing her ideas about why people are marginalized and what can be done to help stop the epidemic. Her core beliefs are that psychology needs to grow to understand that racism is very much alive and that we need to focus on women from different cultures according to www.feministvoices.com. She has written many articles on research that she has done, some which date back to 1993. Her last article was in 2010. She currently teaches psychology classes at St. Johns University. She started there in 1991. sefran2 (talk) 22:41, 27 March 2018 (UTC)

Dr. Council's comments: This is good, but more suitable for the main body of the article than the lead. It is written like you're telling a story. The details about upbringing and education should go in the main body. Start the lead by establishing her notability. First of all, say who she is, an African American psychologist. Then describe her notable accomplishments, books she's written, important research, etc. Be specific. J.R. Council (talk) 19:27, 6 April 2018 (UTC)

Dr. Council's comments: The first paragraph could almost stand alone as the lead. The second paragraph should go in the main body of the article. In the lead, you should mention some specific notable achievements, like books, articles, or research. J.R. Council (talk) 19:34, 6 April 2018 (UTC)

Savannah and I put both of our lead sections into a Google Doc so that we could work together to edit and combine our lead sections. We both felt that it was a success and below is what we came up with! We hope you like it!

This assignment was in the wrong place, so I just moved it over to the right place. Isley Pie6 (talk) 19:36, 10 April 2018 (UTC)

Dr. Council's comments on group lead:

OH MY! This is way too long. See if you can cut it in half, or even less. Remember, you want to make it short and interesting so people will want to read more. Focus on notable accomplishments. Don't throw out the other details, just save them for the main article. These include:

• Details about childhood
• Details about undergrad & masters degreese
• Most of the narrative in the final paragraph

Other suggestions:

• Don't write like you're telling the story of her life. Be succinct. Try to write this like a news article.
• There a lot of rather vague statements about her acccomplishments. Be specific, and back up your statemets with reference citations. J.R. Council (talk) 20:35, 10 April 2018 (UTC)
