Welcome!

Hi Kyla! Welcome to Wikipedia! I am looking forward to reading your contributions on health policy and disparities. Is there a reason you want to focus on Latin American countries in particular? RiceStudent (talk) 20:09, 23 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Nice work on this article. My suggestion for final improvements would be to focus on copyediting: tighten up the language as much as you can, and make sure that the parts that are describing basic facts don't take an opinionated tone. Another thing that would help would be to cut down a bit on the longer direct quotes. Except where the exact wording is really important, it's usually better to paraphrase than quote entire sentences or more.--Sage (Wiki Ed) (talk) 23:01, 28 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Review trade?

[edit]

Hi Kylaj. I note you've got Prison–industrial complex nominated for GAN. I recently had Prison education passed through GAN and currently have it nominated for peer review. I'm looking for feedback on what I'd need to do to promote it to featured status, or just improve it in general. See here. I found it quite challenging to write parts of the article as many countries do not open declare information about their prison education systems. Anyway I just wanted to offer you a trade. In exchange for some detailed comments at my peer review, I'd be happy to undertake your GAN. No worries if you don't have the time for that though. Have a nice day.

Hello, I'm StartTerminal. I noticed that in this edit to Penal labor in the United States, you removed content without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, the removed content has been restored. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. startTerminal (haha wow talk page) 02:05, 7 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Copying within Wikipedia requires proper attribution

[edit]

Information icon Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Prison–industrial complex into Penal labor in the United States. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. The attribution has been provided for this situation, but if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, please provide attribution for that duplication. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. If you are the sole author of the prose that was moved, attribution is not required. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 13:42, 8 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]


Hello, thank you for the information. I was the sole author of the text that was moved. I edited the prison-industrial context page a few months ago Kylaj (talk) 13:58, 8 April 2018 (UTC)Kylaj[reply]

Can you confirm that you are still around and interested in going through the GA Review process, before I start doing my review? Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 15:18, 23 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
