Hi, I'm C1776M. Sarah.heberlig, thanks for creating Structural Violence in Haiti!
I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. Great start! Welcome to wikipedia.
The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on my talk page. Or, for more editing help, talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse. C1776MTalk 00:41, 16 March 2014 (UTC)
- While there is a lot of good information there, the article name is overstated. There is no intent of "violence" on the part of anybody. The article title is supposed to be attention-getting. Instead, it is off-putting to the audience you should be wanting most - people unfamiliar with the situation there. But if you just want a mark in some class from some professor who has given it that grand name, I suppose an npov title can wait.
- Please avoid adjectives. Journalists use those. Encyclopedias don't. Academics shouldn't. The best academics avoid them in writing. Modifying adjectives can be even worse. "Extreme poverty." What is this? How does "extreme poverty" differ from "poverty" (still merely an adjective and not defined objectively)?
- Please use edit summary to describe why you are doing what you are doing. It is insufficient to revert something merely because you WP:JUSTDONTLIKEIT. Those grounds are insufficient.
- The problem about "finding a place in a university" isn't an attempt to project First World Standards on the Third World. Most college graduates figure out some way of getting to the United States, or some other First World Country. There are no jobs for them in Haiti.
- The problem with Haiti is a completely collapsed economy kept alive only through infusions of money and off-the-wall ideas from First World Countries. A little bit of tourism. Agriculture in the rural areas, but barely sufficient to support the population. Make me Dictator of Haiti and I would have no idea where to begin. The problems are not solvable with existing economic theory, either capitalistic or socialistic.
- BTW, the "happiness factor" in the rural area is a lot higher than the United States. I agree things can be pretty desperate in the cities, thought there are also "more opportunities."
- Still, Calcutta was this bad off (or worse) 60 years ago. It's still terrible, but much improved. Student7 (talk) 21:09, 7 April 2014 (UTC)
- "Limited obstetrics" sentence is confusing.
- "only" modifier in prosthetics is an Appeal to pity. The facts are what they are. Wikipedia neither supports nor opposes people getting prosthetics. My wife's granduncle had to have his hip whittled away after the American Civil War, in order to get a prosthetic that "fit." Is that "goodness?" Why does the language of the article expect a First World outcome in one of the worst Third World Countries? Student7 (talk) 21:20, 7 April 2014 (UTC)
Disambiguation link notification for April 24 edit
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Structural violence in Haiti, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Doctors (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
