Welcome
[edit]Hello, Cjefferys and welcome to Wikipedia! It appears you are participating in a class project. If you haven't done so already, we encourage you to go through our training for students.
If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place {{Help me}} before the question. Please also read this helpful advice for students.
Before you create an article, make sure you understand what kind of articles are accepted here. Remember: Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and while many topics are encyclopedic, some things are not.
Your instructor or professor may wish to set up a course page, and if your class doesn't already have one please tell your instructor about that. It is highly recommended that you place this text: {{Educational assignment}} on the talk page of any articles you are working on as part of your Wikipedia-related course assignment. This will let other editors know this article is a subject of an educational assignment and aid your communication with them.
We hope you like it here and encourage you to stay even after your assignment is finished! Dr Aaij (talk) 21:46, 2 June 2019 (UTC)

Interstate Construction During the Civil Rights Movement in Montgomery, Al
[edit]B-. The big thing here isn't that you lacked sources, it's the presentation and clarity of the material. The strong point in the lead isn't really verified in the article, and the material in "Affected community" and "affected citizens" is very similar. Plus, "Original construction planning" and "Placement of the Highways" (they're insterstates), that's really the same kind of content, no? Plus, I'm not sure what "news paper coverage" is supposed to do. Who is Karl Portera? Why is that article relevant? There is no date--is that from the 1970s? With the available sources you could have written up a more clean and clear article. Dr Aaij (talk) 21:35, 1 August 2019 (UTC)
