Talk:Modest fashion

This article has a lot of room to expand[change source]

The student decided that the modest fashion designer she wanted to profile was not notable enough for her own page, but felt very strongly that SEW should cover modest fashion. I added a little bit on a few more modest fashion designers to help round out the article, but it clearly needs a lot of improvement.

Good topic -- look forward to others adding to it!

As is, the article is a good start, something to build upon. I do not know the religious context/background of the people writing this, but I think the following needs to be considered: We are looking at people who are learning English as an additional language, so the focus should be on explaining the concept well. At least I do not care if only words of a given word list are used. If the concept is well-explained that does not matter. In my opinion, images/illustrations can enhance the article, and make it better. The people writing need to spend some time, thinking about what images to choose, but a well-chosen image can add a lot. Look at articles such as kimono to see examples. Note also, I am an external person, so all I can give is input. As to modest fashion, there should porbably be enough images on commons to choose from...

Excellent! We sadly need to discourage students from adding images, as the copyright issues are more than we have time to go into. However, I -- as a librarian -- can take on that work (though it might be a week or two). I can also think more about the introductory descriptions. Thank you for the excellent feedback!

If you use the images you find on Wikimedia Commons you shouldn't have any copyright issues. Personally, I think that whoever the student is who is creating the article, thinking about proper illustration is also part of the task. Eptalon (talk) 20:36, 27 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I will take that up with the teacher for next year, and will discuss with the student for now. Thanks! Castilibrary2 (talk) 21:30, 27 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
