Hello, Saad.Negm, 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.

Note

Hi! I wanted to leave you a quick note about the draft. When writing, make sure that you attribute any claims, theories, or opinions to the person who made them in the source material, as we want to avoid something coming across as the opinion of Wikipedia or the editor writing the article. This will also help avoid concerns of original research. For example, the following section can come across as a personal opinion:

However, the term Global South has a positive connotation to it. It appears to be less hierarchical and is alienated from class system compared to words used earlier.

The issue here is that it comes across like you or Wikipedia stating that this has a positive connotation. The phrase "appears to be" also comes across as a personal observation. If this was taken from the source, then it needs to be attributed to them and could be rephrased as such:

In an article for the Global South Studies Center Cologne, Andrea Hollington et. al. stated that the term Global South has a more positive connotation to it and appears to be less hierarchical and is alienated from class system compared to words used earlier.

This still has largely the same wording, but attributing it essentially defuses the concerns that I'd mentioned.

I hope this helps! Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 17:07, 27 March 2019 (UTC)
