Hello, Elagabalus123, 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.

Draft[edit]

Hi! Your draft is looking great so far! I don't have any true notes, other than to see if you can find more sourcing. You're relying very heavily on sourcing from two people and while the sourcing is good and they're clearly authorities, it may be good to find another source or two to add in to show a good overall depth of scholarly coverage for this. It's not something dire, but something I wanted to just throw out there a little. Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 16:19, 28 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! I wanted to drop another note - the draft is coming along well, just make sure that you avoid writing in an essay-like or casual tone. I'm concerned that there are bits of this in the article. Avoid using things like "indeed" OR "nonetheless", as those are seen as more narrative or casual and can also come across as this being written by a single, specific person. Make sure that everything is clear and if needed, attributed. Other than that, this is going well! Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 18:17, 5 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Hi! This actually looks so good that I was wondering - would you like to make this into an article by itself and then link from the banditry article? Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 17:09, 22 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
That's fair! I just wanted to let you know about it if you wanted! Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 17:32, 25 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
