Response

Hi! I wanted to respond on your talk page.

• This needed editing for tone - it comes across as more of a reflection on the topic as opposed to just a summary of what others have stated on the topic.

• This is very US-centric. Keep in mind that this is supposed to take a global perspective on the topic and shouldn't focus on one specific country over others.

• Avoid broad, generalizing statements unless this is a widely held stance that is stated in reliable sources. For example, stating that colleges are getting more diverse may only be applicable for colleges in the United States - this may not be the case in other countries. This is why it's important to be careful with what's added and what's in the sourcing.

• The sourcing is fine, but since this is meant to take a globalized stance the sourcing should ideally take a globalized stance rather than focusing on a single country or only only a Westernized view.

• This should be written in the neutral third person - it shouldn't use wording like 'you' and 'we'.

I hope this helps! Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 15:09, 18 March 2020 (UTC)
