Hello, Katielizsp24, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Ian and I work with Wiki Education; 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.

  Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Police brutality, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear to be constructive and has been reverted. If you only meant to make a test edit, please use your sandbox for that. Thank you.

Can you give an example of how I can explain my edits, please? I am trying to edit the article for my class, but this is my first time. I made a thorough critique on the talk page and am trying to make some edits to adress those points. And I am using my sandbox to test out all changes before inputting them.

In your latest edit to the page, from Police brutality: Revision history, you deleted 31,690 bytes, removing the Africa and Asia sections, which cite reliable sources. Instead of removing sections, you could help improve them by adding content and reliable sources. Nythar (talk) 06:47, 19 May 2022 (UTC)Reply
One of the issues that the article is flagged for is that it is too long, so I was trying to consolidate the information. Am I not able to reorganize the information in a mor succinct manner? Katielizsp24 (talk) 18:40, 19 May 2022 (UTC)Reply
This article is about police brutality, and many countries have police brutality issues, so removing the Africa and Asia sections looked a bit overdone. If you want to shorten the article, you could remove trivial details. Nythar (talk) 19:54, 19 May 2022 (UTC)Reply
Okay thank you for your help Katielizsp24 (talk) 17:44, 26 May 2022 (UTC)Reply
