Hello, XabiChristo, 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.

• Hi - I ended up reverting your additions to Catalan independence movement as it felt a little too much like an essay and I was concerned about the sourcing you were using to back up some of the points.

For example, you used this source to back up the sentence "With populist movements growing in popularity across Europe, European Union officials don’t want to intervene and set a precedent for future movements.", however the issue here is that this would be considered an editorial piece. This means that the author's conclusions would be seen as his own opinions on the matter. It doesn't mean that you can't use it, just that you need to attribute the opinion to the author. Basically, what I want you to do is work on attributing claims and opinions to the source before re-adding it to the article. Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 21:11, 30 November 2017 (UTC)
