Hello, Lsangmin, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Adam 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.

  Thank you for your contributions. Please mark your edits, such as your recent edits to Black Panther Party, as "minor" only if they are minor edits. In accordance with Help:Minor edit, a minor edit is one that the editor believes requires no review and could never be the subject of a dispute. Minor edits consist of things such as typographical corrections, formatting changes or rearrangement of text without modification of content. Additionally, the reversion of clear-cut vandalism and test edits may be labeled "minor". Thank you. — Malik Shabazz Talk/Stalk 04:43, 7 March 2017 (UTC)Reply

Peer Feedback

edit

Hi, I am assigned to look at your wikipedia page for the peer review.

What was good

I really liked the structure- it was easy to read, with its chronological order. I also liked that the article was relatively neutral, with both sides supporting and criticizing BPP shown in this article.

What I think can be improved on

I noticed from your edits that you mostly edited grammar/citation or added some details to the events, which I completely understand because the page is already so detailed and complete. Perhaps expanding on the legacy of the BPP with contemporary updates would help to add more information into the page. I also found the New Black Panther pretty interesting. Although it has its own wikipedia page, it would be useful to add some details about the differences between this new black panther party and the "original" black panther party. Furthermore, it would also be useful to include and elaborate more on the scholarly interpretations on the demise of the BPP, as it is just a single line in this wikipedia page. I also noticed an error in groups and movements- there's a floating 'Memphis Black Autonomy Federation'. I also noticed that there are two bibliographies/references.

hope this helps!

  Hello Lsangmin, and welcome to Wikipedia. All or some of your addition(s) to Black Panther Party have been removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material without evidence of permission from the copyright holder. While we appreciate your contributing to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from your sources to avoid copyright or plagiarism issues here.

  • You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and cite the source using an inline citation. You can read about this at Wikipedia:Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
  • Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. (There is a college-level introduction to paraphrase, with examples, hosted by the Online Writing Lab of Purdue.) Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
  • Our primary policy on using copyrighted content is Wikipedia:Copyrights. You may also want to review Wikipedia:Copy-paste.
  • If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. However, there are steps that must be taken to verify that license before you do. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
  • In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are public domain or compatibly licensed), it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at the help desk before adding such content to the article. 99.9% of sources may not be added in this way, so it is necessary to seek confirmation first. If you do confirm that a source is public domain or compatibly licensed, you will still need to provide full attribution; see Wikipedia:Plagiarism for the steps you need to follow.
  • Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you can, but please follow the steps in Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 22:43, 9 March 2017 (UTC)Reply
