Welcome!

Hello, StephChris, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Adam 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.

Islamism edit

Hi-- You seem to be a new editor and may not be familiar with Wikipedia policies. They require strict correspondence between what WP articles state or imply and what is found in the sources. You may particularly want to consult the WP:SYN section of WP:NOR. Eperoton (talk) 06:15, 31 January 2017 (UTC)

Hi, I am new, so thank you for correcting me. I knew that the policies required strict correspondence between the source and the article, so I directly para-phrased from the CNN article. Is that incorrect? I appreciate you correcting me but please explain more on what I did wrong or how I can fix it. Thank you! -Stephanie

To discuss this executive order in the section "Counter-response" in the article "Islamism", we need a reliable source (WP:RS) which characterizes it as a counter-response to Islamism. Likewise, the characterization "countries affiliated with the Islamic state" would need to be sourced. The section discusses strategic initiatives to roll back the influence of Islamist movements, not just any counter-terrorist activities Eperoton (talk) 01:32, 9 February 2017 (UTC)
