Welcome! edit

Hello, Cas461, 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. You may also want to check out the Teahouse, a community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to helping new users. Below are some resources to help you get started editing.

  Hello, I'm Philipnelson99. I wanted to let you know that I reverted one of your recent contributions —specifically this edit to A Wrinkle in Time (2003 film)— because it did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the Help desk. Thanks. Philipnelson99 (talk) 19:05, 24 April 2019 (UTC)Reply

A Wrinkle in Time (2003 Film) edit

Response to Philipnelson99:

Hi Philip! I am working to improve the Wikipedia page for the 2003 film A Wrinkle in Time. I began to add many edits that I thought would help bring the article up to Wikipedia's standards, but my edits were removed. I would appreciate any feedback or advice for where I may have gone wrong with the edits and how I can fix them so that they are constructive enough to remain on the page.

Thank you!

Notes edit

Hi! I have some notes:

  • Be careful about sourcing. I'm not certain that sources like Ultimate Disney are usable, as it looks to be a self-published source. Be careful with self-published sources as we can't guarantee that they have a good (or any) editorial oversight and verification process. If we can show where the source is routinely seen as a reliable source by other authoritative reliable sources, especially academic and scholarly sources, then it should be usable. I've removed it since it's being used to back up claims of fact as opposed to used as a review of the film. I do see where the source is used on Wikipedia, but it may be that it's OK for reviews and not claims of fact. I'd need to look into this a bit more.
  • As mentioned in the email, don't mention where the movie can be purchased or its price point.
  • You can remove templates as soon as you feel the issue has been resolved.

Other than that, this looks pretty good so far. Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 17:01, 30 April 2019 (UTC)Reply
