Welcome![edit]

Hello, Cbhughes, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Ian 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.

Hi! I'm from ESPM 167, peer reviewing your article. It's a little hard to tell what work is yours since you are editing a page (that's correct, isn't it?). So I'm not entirely sure what to comment on. I saw that you've collected sources to update environmental justice implications of the order, which is really good. I like that the article contains factual information, but I think the tone is a little biased sometimes. For example, "Trump has repeatedly vowed that Mexico will pay for construction of a border wall, but has never explained how the U.S. government would compel Mexico to do so.[7] " You could edit that to say "Trump has stated that the Mexican government will provide the financial support for the construction of a border wall. However, the Mexican government has declined this responsibility" or something like that. You want to be bold and get the point across, but can't be biased. Overall has great potential for a really good and accessible wikipedia article, I just think you're going to have to be really careful about tone because it is such a controversial topic.Irenekeller (talk) 05:49, 12 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

A tag has been placed on Localwise, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. – Train2104 (t • c) 01:23, 7 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
