		The Barnstar of David
		For taking the POV out of Women of the Wall, I award you this barnstar. — Malik Shabazz Talk/Stalk 21:22, 21 July 2014 (UTC)

I have begun taking some of my inspiration for new articles and additions from the national dedication each month to a particular group or issue:

February 2016: Black History Month/ African American History month: created articles about Carolyn Wright, Cynthia Akuetteh, Marcia Bernicat, the Natchez Museum of African American History and Culture and added to article about artist Alma Thomas and Avraham Neguise

March: 2016: The theme for this year's Women's History Month was "Working to Form a More Perfect Union: Honoring Women in Public Service and Government." So for March I completed articles on about a dozen women who are in public service roles, such as U.S. Ambassadors Julieta Valls Noyes, Stephanie S. Sullivan, Helen La Lime, Alice Wells, Kathleen A. Doherty, as well as First Lady of Israel Nechama Rivlin

April 2016: The candidates include Jazz Appreciation Month and National Child Abuse Prevention Month. One of my first articles for the month is about Delrish Moss, the new Police Chief for Ferguson. That might not sound related, but check out the "personal' section---he loves jazz! Sadly, I had the opportunity to contribute to the article about Ethiopian jazz musician Getatchew Mekurya, when his obituary appeared in the NYT. I also added to the articles on jazz greats Benny Carter and Sarah Vaughan. My second article this month was turning National Child Abuse Prevention Month from a red link to a blue link---very appropriate since blue is the color associated with it. Now I just need to find a blue pinwheel picture to post here...

May 2016: May is Jewish American Heritage Month and I updated that article with this year's new theme, "An American Journey." I also completed an article on America's favorite Bubbie on the big screen and Broadway, Sylvia Kauders. Earlier, I completed bios of a number of Jewish American ambassadors, including Alaina B. Teplitz, Stephanie S. Sullivan and Nancy Pettit, but this month I also added Ambassador Sarah E. Mendelson and Andrew H. Schapiro, named by President Obama as U.S. Ambassador to the Czech Republic, where Schapiro's mother once escaped the Holocaust by emigrating to the U.S. When the 2016 Israel Prizes were announced, I completed an article about Edit Doron, a professor at Hebrew University who completed her studies in America, at U. of Texas at Austin and Stanford University.

You need to follow WP:BRD. And please see the talk page. I did not say it's not documented just that it's not necessary for inclusion. We don't need to make the whole article into a violence section. There is no need to have every year's actions listed out. Sir Joseph ^(talk) 19:07, 2 June 2016 (UTC)
