Welcome! edit

Hello, UWCLStudentSpring2021, 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.

Checking in! edit

Greetings! It looks like you've successfully copied text over from the live article (Online deliberation) to your sandbox (User:UWCLStudentSpring2021/Online deliberation) and that you've been putting together some good research and citations over in User:UWCLStudentSpring2021/Online Deliberation/Bibliography. I'm looking forward to seeing the new text added to the article. Let me know if there is anything I can do to help.

Also! I noticed that your article draft was in User:UWCLStudentSpring2021/sandbox (basically your general sandbox. The WikiEdu dashboard sort of expects article level sandboxes so I moved yours to User:UWCLStudentSpring2021/Online deliberation. I left redirect pages behind so I don't think you should notice any changes or have any challenges (i.e., you should just be taken to the right place silently). But I wanted to let you know. —mako 20:58, 20 April 2021 (UTC)Reply

Good to go! edit

Greetings! I've done a editing pass on your article over at User:UWCLStudentSpring2021/Online deliberation. I made a few changes. I tried to edit out "Scholar and Scholar said <BLANK>" type statements as they are vaguely discouraged unless work is particularly notable. Unlike a literature review, it's typically seen as better to summarize the facts and provide references for folks who want to look things up. I also merged a few of the sections together.

In general, I think the page is very much improved. Do another pass with the goal of cleaning things up and making it feel like a good introduction for a non-scholar who just wants to understand what online deliberation is and what we know about it. Once you're done, you should start copying things over and making the text live right away.

I know this was a tough topic but I think you did a huge amount to improve the quality of the article. I look forward to seeing your changes in the live version of the Wikipedia article. —mako 23:35, 4 May 2021 (UTC)Reply
