Class Today

Hey Eric. I've been sick all week which is why I haven't been in class. Let me know what you guys need me to do to make sure this plan gets done. Thanks, Jon Luchansky Jcl41 (talk) 18:48, 9 October 2009 (UTC)

Your edits

Re: [1]. Good start, but you should add more content. Don't forget about wiki hyperlinks, and inline references (every sentence should be referenced). The list of countries (table) also should have a reference. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk} 21:13, 3 November 2009 (UTC)

Hey Eric, I know...it was my bad. We were editing at the same time and I accidentally deleted your edits. I think I put back what was necessary though. Let me know or fix it if it needs to be changed.Jcl41 (talk) 01:26, 16 November 2009 (UTC)

Semi-periphery countries

As the editor reviewing Semi-periphery countries, I noticed your recent addition to the article. Here is what I wrote on the review page: "I need to emphasize at this time that Wikipedia articles are not dissertations. Encyclopedias, as tertiary resources, should be compiled based on already-published research with no novel synthesis. The relevant editorial policies are Wikipedia:No original research and Wikipedia:Reliable sources. If those claims are mentioned in the document which you have cited, rephrase it to indicate that you are referring to already-published material rather than making a claim of your own." @harej 05:21, 17 November 2009 (UTC)

copyright issues

You'll need to rewrite your contributions to ensure there are no WP:COPYVIO violations like this one. You are doing too much Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk} 01:29, 24 November 2009 (UTC)

Semi-periphery_countries GA review

I have put the GA review of Semi-periphery countries on hold as I feel based on a source check that there is a possibility the information as presented could be unreliable. I would like an expert on the subject to check over the article before resuming the review. See Talk:Semi-periphery countries/GA2. SilkTork *^YES! 12:34, 17 February 2010 (UTC)
