What changes am I going to make

write a post that describes the changes you plan to make to strengthen the article and a preliminary list of at least five sources that meet Wikipedia's standards for evidence.

In this article I plan on making this article a C-class article instead of B-class. The article has a lot of information about the history of GMOs but it lacks some information on actual facts on GMOs. If no reliable, independent sources can be found on a topic, then it should not have a separate article. Wikipedia's concept of notability applies this basic standard to avoid indiscriminate inclusion of topics. Article and list topics must be notable, or "worthy of notice". — Preceding unsigned comment added by Emarieva (talk • contribs) 8:28, 23 September 2020 (UTC)

This post is only tangentially related to improving this article, and should be on the user's talk page rather than here. Genetically Modified foods / crops are an area of controversy on wiki, subject to discretionary sanctions and a one-revert rule. As you are a new student editor, I suggest you consider another article that is not subject to sanctions to do your first work. It is not clear from your post that you understand the article class system, so you may want to research that further. If you have questions, please let me know on my talk page. I will mention my concern to the wikiedu staff working with your course as well.Dialectric (talk) 15:52, 23 September 2020 (UTC)

I have moved this comment from Genetically modified food as a month has passed and it appears this editor is no longer working on that article, and the comments are not particularly relevant to improving that article.Dialectric (talk) 11:03, 23 October 2020 (UTC)

Article selection

Hi Emarieva. I just wanted to make sure that you saw the note the Dialectric left for you on the genetically modified foods talk page. I agree with them that this probably isn't the best article for you to work on - it's a contentious topic that's difficult to work on, and any additions will probably need to be carefully negotiated. It's also a fairly lengthy article, which means that there is less obvious content to add.

I strongly recommend that you pick another topic to work on. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 17:54, 23 September 2020 (UTC)
