Hello, Marlene PVCC, 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.

Body worn video

Hi! I tweaked your contribution to the article on body worn video a little. You originally used a press release as a source, however you should exercise great caution with these sources because they're seen as primary sources whose ultimate goal is to sell the reader/consumer something. I found some of the same information in an article by Time magazine, which would be seen as a more reliable source on Wikipedia, so I replaced the source. I also tweaked the sentence a little since it was a little too closely taken from a quote someone made, which could be seen as close paraphrasing. It can be difficult but make sure that you're careful that you're not writing something too close to the source material, as it can be seen as a form of plagiarism - even if done unintentionally.
