Income Inequality in the United States
In addition to the data provided by the Congressional Budget Office (CBO), data from the St. Louis Fed would be a great compliment to the alarming income inequality in the United States.
We should also be aware of the difference between Income Inequality and the Wealth Gap. A. (talk) 03:17, 27 September 2016 (UTC)
Income Distribution can be correlated with the discussion of Income Inequality and the wealth gap in the United States.
The Federal Reserve & Census Bureau has done some great work and developed a variety of charts and data that can be included onto this page.

Reviewing Women in Photography
This article is already well established.
Something I would look into is women in photography in the Americas, Europe, Asia, and Africa.
I would look how women in photography differ by regions of the world.
Some more liberal others more conservative.
Feedback
Hi Adnan. Nice start on your draft. Just a few thoughts about how you might improve it.
- Use "United States" instead of "America", if you're referring to the country, since America can also be used to refer to the entire continent. Remember that Wikipedia is an international encyclopedia, and content should not be too heavily US-specific.
- Think about how your addition is going to fit into the existing article. Is it a new section, or part of an existing section? Make sure that it fits in, and does just feel like it's an extra bit tacked on. Don't repeat information that's in other sections. Think about things like that.
- "Alarming" isn't neutral, encyclopedic language.
- Make sure you add inline references and that you format your citations properly. Make sure your citations are complete - "Thomas Piketty - Capital in the 21st Century" isn't a complete citation. When citing a whole book, it's appropriate to references specific pages, and to do that properly you need to specify which edition you're talking about.
- Are you planning to upload the charts you're referring to? Bear in mind that you shouldn't be discussing the meaning of charts - you should be reporting what reliable sources have said about the charts. Charts are data, and data interpretation should be left to cited, reliable sources. Even if you're an expert, there's no way for your readers to know you are an expert. So rely on sources.
- Only proper nouns should be capitalized; "net worth", not "Net Worth".
- You should include links to other articles, so that your readers can learn more about the topic.

Income distribution
Your addition to the income distribution contains a very long quote. For copyright reasons, quotes from sources need to be kept to kept to a minimum. Short quotes are OK if the precise wording matters, but in almost all cases you should be restating the information in your own words (while citing the source you got the information from).
