Hello, BeskerTelisma, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Shalor and I work with the Wiki Education Foundation; I help support students who are editing as part of a class assignment.

I hope you enjoy editing here. If you haven't already done so, please check out the student training library, which introduces you to editing and Wikipedia's core principles.

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Code of Hammurabi has been reverted.
Your edit here to Code of Hammurabi was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline. The external link(s) you added or changed (http://andrews330.blogspot.com/) is/are on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. If the external link you inserted or changed was to a blog, forum, free web hosting service, fansite, or similar site (see 'Links to avoid', #11), then please check the information on the external site thoroughly. Note that such sites should probably not be linked to if they contain information that is in violation of the creator's copyright (see Linking to copyrighted works), or they are not written by a recognised, reliable source. Linking to sites that you are involved with is also strongly discouraged (see conflict of interest).
If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! --XLinkBot (talk) 20:48, 7 September 2017 (UTC)Reply

  • Hi! I wanted to explain - blogs are considered to be self-published sources that have little to no editorial oversight. In other words, people can post their own thoughts and conclusions without true repercussion as long as the content doesn't violate the blog company's terms of service. This means that they may post something that could be incorrect, even if the blog looks like it wouldn't be wrong. Even if the information is correct, Wikipedia still requires that a source have some sort of editorial oversight or equivalent. I also wanted to caution you to be cautious in what you add - the content should be written in an encyclopedic tone rather than a casual one. What you added looks to be factually correct, it just needed a better source and to be written differently. Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 14:36, 8 September 2017 (UTC)Reply

  Hello, I'm Shellwood. I wanted to let you know that I reverted one of your recent contributions —the one you made with this edit to Template:Humanrights-stub— because it did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks.

Besker Peer Review

I'm unsure where exactly you're contribution draft is located but I think you can definitely be a little less bias to the white (creole people). Instead, of saying if a "white person" did this, you can rephrase that in a more factual and non-opinionated way. You can use more statistics from other races vs black races to justice you're reasoning. The facts and points you're making in the article can be phrased in a different perspective. Though your topic is well thought out the punctuation and grammar throughout the whole draft can be edited. I like the points and ideas your making but some improvements can make this perfect. Also, where did you receive this information from?(Mychelles (talk) 03:30, 3 November 2017 (UTC))Reply
