Welcome!
editHello, Omartall90, 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.

Evaluating Sources
editI think that the best kind of source is a scholarly source like papers and books created from a student,Faculty,or a researcher at universities because usually the work is reviewed by peer editors and specialist before publishing and it also includes full citations.
Because it matters that the person editing said Wikipedia page has the correct information and strong sources in order to feed positive unbiased information to millions.
First globalization
editHello, I have removed your recent large addition to First globalization. It looks like legitimate information, but it requires some significant work if you'd like to resubmit it. Your text contained errors in nearly every sentence, and that's too much to ask other editors to fix. Some of these were Wikipedia style errors (see WP:MOS), such as unnecessary capital letters in headers. There were also a lot of missing words, punctuation errors, and so on. I don't mean to dissuade you - your contributions are welcome here, but as I say, the writing just needs some work before resubmitting. If I can help with anything, just let me know. Thanks.

I have removed another large addition of text to this article. I'm sorry, but it is just not up to standards. It is thick with errors such as random capital letters and incomplete sentences. You are asking too much of your fellow editors - text should not have to be entirely rewritten; it should be reasonably error-free at the time of submission.

We are getting into edit war territory at First globalization, which is not good. It's simply not appropriate to keep submitting text which is so thick with errors. Ideally, I would get a response from you about the problems with your additions. I'm happy to work with you on this, but until I get a reply, I'm not keen to spend more time explaining why I'm removing your work. If you continue to re-add error-riddled text, the next step will be for me to request that an administrator get involved. Jessicapierce (talk) 06:01, 11 May 2018 (UTC)
