Hello, Grobinson22, 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.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me on my talk page. Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 16:00, 17 May 2017 (UTC)Reply

Feedback on sandbox draft

edit

Hi! I wanted to give you a bit of feedback on the draft. So far it looks great - the only two things of note is that you need to do inline citations rather than ones styled like (Name, date, page) and that the second paragraph needed some tweaking to remove POV type words. It's not that they're bad, they're just words that could be seen as coming from one person's point of view rather than from a neutral encyclopedia. (IE, an encyclopedia is supposed to be "faceless" per se, in that it shouldn't read like it was written by one person. This honestly took me a long time to get used to myself.) The main thing is the sentence "The Polish post-communist experience is unique."

Other than that, the section looks like it's progressing well. Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 23:27, 10 July 2017 (UTC)Reply
