[edit]

Hello, Musicwtv, 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.

Judy Kibinge

[edit]

Minor revisions needed. This is a great start! You have found some high-quality sources about Kibinge. Make sure you don’t overwrite too much of the existing text when you move your text to mainspace. I also recommend the following minor revisions:

  • When citing the A Companion to African Cinema, add the Chapter name. Using the citation wizard, go to “Manual” and then “Add more information” and then add “Chapter.” Also add the names of the book’s editors. Under “Add more information” you can add “Editor first/last names.”
  • Avoid promotional language like “is one of Kibinge’s most interesting works of film.”

Notes

[edit]

Hi, I have some notes for you:

  • Be very careful about tone. The draft has some content that sounds non-neutral and at worst, comes across as a bit promotional in tone. Keep in mind that any opinion or point of view statements should be attributed to the person making the claim. They shouldn't be written in Wikipedia's voice, as this can impact the neutrality of the article. I've done some editing to this end. Keep in mind that promotional material can be removed from an article at any time.
  • This will need additional sourcing - what you have so far is fine but there should be more. The only exception is the use of IMDb as a source - this cannot establish notability nor is it considered to be a reliable source in general as anyone can contribute content to the site. There isn't a very good checking policy in place and people have been able to add patently false information, even to major films.

I hope this helps! Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 19:36, 22 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
