Hey Heidi, this is Joselyn. I'm in your IS 395 class and am excited to work together this semester! (8/24)

Welcome!

Hello, Hfmsmith, 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.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me on my talk page. Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 19:50, 18 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. User:Shalor (Wiki Ed) is actually the Wikipedia expert assigned to your class. You should get in touch with her. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 18:29, 17 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi - I think that a good location for this would possibly be the article on the economic history of Nigeria. While you do have content about people migrating from Nigeria, your primary viewpoint seems to look at it from an economic perspective. You could title the section "Impact on emigration". I'll also take a look at the content and see if it needs any overall editing. Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 19:29, 17 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm... upon examination this doesn't seem to really fit since only about half of your content covers the economy. I think that you should try working on the draft you have so that it puts more of an economic focus on things. Maybe find some sources that look at how violence and Boko Haram affects the country's economy? Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 19:48, 17 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! I noticed that you have posted content to Human_trafficking_in_Nigeria#Human_Trafficking_of_Nigerians_in_Italy, but it's unsourced - content will generally need sourcing in order to be on Wikipedia, but controversial content like this will especially need to be well sourced. (Anything that deals with human trafficking is inherently controversial.) Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 20:20, 21 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
