Welcome!

Hello, Schimerine, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Shalor and I work with Wiki Education; 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.

Image at Female education

Schimerine, I removed the image you added to Female education, because its copyright status is unclear. In addition, it appears that you added this image to Commons yourself. Did you complete your Wiki Ed student training? I'm pretty sure there's a module on adding images in it, which stresses the importance of observing Wikipedia's licensing requirements.

There was also some unsourced or poorly sourced material, and I've removed some content and shortened some other parts. Mathglot (talk) 00:00, 1 May 2020 (UTC)

Notes

I wanted to give you some notes on why the material was removed:

• The uploaded image looks to have been taken from a copyrighted source. Unless the image is explicitly marked as falling into the public domain or under a compatible Creative Commons license, you should always assume that it has been released under a restrictive copyright that wouldn't allow it to be uploaded to Wikimedia Commons. Also, keep in mind that even if the image is based on data from a source that is compatible with Wikipedia and the Commons, the created image will likely not be since that will be the copyright owner's own creation and interpretation of the data.

I would like for you to review the training module on uploading images and media.

• All content must be sourced with a reliable source. We can only summarize what has been explicitly stated in the source material. You must also be very careful with sourcing, as not all sources are seen as reliable on Wikipedia. For example, you used the website for Project Drawdown, which is a project created by environmental activists. What this means is that the site is geared to persuade the reader to see things from their point of view. While they may not necessarily falsify information (although some organizations have done this), the author may be more focused on arguing their point than providing a truly neutral view of the subject matter. It just wouldn't be the most neutral and accurate source. Academic and scholarly sources would be best here, especially as the section is meant to summarize how environmental changes impact female education. Since this could potentially even be seen as health related data depending on how it approaches the material, as the section mentioned things like birth rates and healthcare, it would be good to also take the training module on editing in health, psychology, and self related articles.

• There are arguably some issues with neutrality since the material was written more from the viewpoint that female education is important because it could save the earth. I think that this was likely because it was based on a single source that espoused this viewpoint.

I hope that this all helps! Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 14:48, 1 May 2020 (UTC)

You have an overdue training assignment.

Please complete the assigned training modules. --Ecs222 (talk) 20:42, 5 May 2020 (UTC)
