Hello, Bukij1, 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.

Peer Review #1 from Jkaback

[edit]

Hi Bookie!

Happy to be reading your page and giving you some peer feedback.

Right off the bat, there are no citations. Be mindful of where you get your sources from and make this clear. Where did you learn what subjects Prudence was teaching at her school? Did this come from the CC archives? If so, I would consult with Becky and Rose on how to cite this information. Remember, it is a claim with no evidence without the citation.

"However, She attended the Friends' Boarding School in Providence, Rhode Island." -- your words might need to be rephrased

In 1831, Crandall returned to Connecticut to run the newly established Canterbury Female Boarding School, which she purchased with her sister Almira. -- where did you learn this? Do not forget to cite your information? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jkaback15 (talkcontribs) 13:20, 9 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Also, you MUST show where you got the photograph from. When you uploaded this to Wikimedia Commons you marked this as your own work, meaning that you are telling people that you took the photograph. I've found content elsewhere that shows that it's a postcard, however I have no information about when the photo was taken, which is incredibly important. If it was not taken before a certain point in time (around 1942), the photograph is considered to be held under a non-compatible copyright unless the author released it under a compatible copyright or into the public domain. While the picture looks like it was taken prior to 1942, we can't be absolutely certain about this because there are people who try to mimic the look and feel of old photographs. If the site doesn't show that the photo is in the public domain or released under a compatible copyright then it cannot remain on Wikimedia Commons. I'm going to make a post on there asking for some help with finding the source, but if you could add this it would make the process easier.
Please complete the module on contributing images and media before uploading any other material, thanks. Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 15:14, 17 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
