Welcome!

Hello, Krissieb, 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.

Hi Krissie

My name is Marissa, and I am a junior student at NEC. I am studying Communications and Business and plan to graduate a semester early next year. In my time away from school I work at Pat's Peak and TD Bank. I am also a commuter student and I live locally. Looking forward to seeing you in class this semester. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mcoidakis (talk • contribs) 18:56, 10 February 2018 (UTC)

Neutrality

Neutrality is the idea of being indifferent or not of an opinion on a certain topic.

Neutrality revised

To not take a stand on something, or to present both sides equally in in order to provide an unbiased information on a top with multiple views or "sides".

Evaluating sources

A good source is something that can be proven true and is stable enough to be backed up with facts ex; primary sources such as government documentation.

sources wikipedia should exclude

Unconfirmed news sources= fabricated news often occurs 
Blogs = very opinion based 
magazines (tabloids, entertainment)= unreliable, typically false information

Why does it matter who is editing wiki?

The reason its important to know who is editing wikipedia because we don't know the agendas or motives behind what some people post, as well as other issues like topics that are important being ignored because these particular people aren't around it or aren't used to it.

How do you think the wikipedia education partnerships change wikipedia ?

It changed it a lot in the sense that is made it more familiar to students. Wikipedia was given a bad rep about there information and with it partnering with classrooms really helps regulate the information being distributed, because not only are teachers watching but so are the people who run wikipedia

Peer Review

Hello Krissie, I am Your Peer review partner, Meghan. Sorry for the delay. I took a look at the page you are interested in about Child Rights International Network. This page is very small, but this is good. It leaves you with a ton of options. Some starter questions I would suggest is what countries are involve outside of Africa, and to take a look at the links provided. This might be a good start. Look forward to be working with you.

Peer check up

Hello Krissie,

Its been a bit since I left a comment but I have been checking up on your wiki. It looks great! There are a few suggestions I have though. The History and About sections look a bit out of place. I think that you could get away with combining them or rearranging them. Maybe switch them around. The mission I would also suggest to put below the About section. In your Mission part, move your sentence "The network...Enforced" to be before the goals are listed, make it the first sentence of that part. Other than that your page looks great!

Best, Meghan
