Hello, Momenahh, 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.

Quick checkin

edit

Greetings! I looked over your work quickly and a few updates and things I wanted to check in on.

First, I noticed that your article draft was in User:Momenahh/sandbox (basically your general sandbox. The WikiEdu dashboard sort of expects article level sandboxes so I moved yours to User:Momenahh/Communication studies. I left redirect pages so I don't think you should notice any challenges or anything (you should just be taken to the right place silently) but I wanted to let you know.

Second, I had some feedback for the draft material that you've written over at User:Momenahh/Communication studies:

  • I notice that you've just written new text from scratch rather than copying text in from a page and editing it there. That's OK but in this case it means that I don't really see how the new text that you've written is going to fit into the existing article. At least in this case.
  • Specifically: The text you've written seems to be very focused on the effect of technology on communication and I don't quite see how this fits into the article on Communication studies. Are you sure it belongs there? There are other articles (like Computer-mediated communication) which seems like they might be a better match.
  • The Elon Journal appears to be a journal for publications from undergraduates and I'm not sure it's the most reliable source under Wikipedia's reliable sourcing policies.

It might be good for the two of us to set up a time to talk through this in the next week. I'm available to help with this! I want to make sure that you're really successful with this assignment. —mako 20:01, 20 April 2021 (UTC)Reply

Are you switching your article from Communication studies to Computer-mediated communication? If noticed that you copied the material over into a new sandbox at User:Momenahh/Computer-mediated Communication. Let me know how you want to proceed and I'm happy to help. Also, if we are switching articles, we should probably update the WikiEdu sandbox. I'm happy to help with that too. Just let me know either here or on Teams. —mako 03:17, 30 April 2021 (UTC)Reply


Hi, Yes I would like to switch to this new article "Computer-mediated communication". If you could help me update that, I would appreciate it. Thank you for your help and support! Momenah | (talk) 14:33, 1 May 2021 (UTC)Reply

Checking in on your article

edit

I've looked at the [1] over in your sandbox. I made some edits and I had some comments and a few things to keep in mind:

  • You use the term ELL in the section on learning but you don't define it.
  • You've added some material to the lede that felt either quite specific (I moved it down into the article) and also a little redundant (I moved the reference up). Keep this in mind.
  • Although you've definitely fixed some typos and such, you also introduced a few awkward langauge issues. Just carefully read these things.

Other than that, the references looks good and such. Why don't you make a careful attempt to clean things up and then move things over and make them live! Thanks for work on this! —mako 06:25, 6 May 2021 (UTC)Reply
