Welcome
[edit]Hello, Navika chan and welcome to Wikipedia! It appears you are participating in a class project. If you haven't done so already, we encourage you to go through our training for students.
If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place {{Help me}} before the question. Please also read this helpful advice for students.
Before you create an article, make sure you understand what kind of articles are accepted here. Remember: Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and while many topics are encyclopedic, some things are not.
Your instructor or professor may wish to set up a course page, and if your class doesn't already have one please tell your instructor about that. It is highly recommended that you place this text: {{Educational assignment}} on the talk page of any articles you are working on as part of your Wikipedia-related course assignment. This will let other editors know this article is a subject of an educational assignment and aid your communication with them.
We hope you like it here and encourage you to stay even after your assignment is finished! ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 20:37, 5 July 2023 (UTC)

Cambodia and IMF article - sourcing & tone
[edit]Hi @Navika chan, I checked out your edits for the Cambodia and the International Monetary Fund article, and have some feedback on the sourcing and tone. Since the topic of the article is the IMF, then it's not appropriate to use them as a reliable source when writing about the IMF itself. This means your writing for Wikipedia needs to summarize what independent, reliable, secondary sources have said about a topic, so that a Wikipedia reader can get a balanced, neutral overview of the current thoughts and understanding of that topic. The balanced point of view is especially important in this case bc if you take a look, the IMF has its set of controversies.
Remember, the goal is to provide a neutral, fact based summary of the topic at hand based off the reliable sources you've found, not to persuade the readers on how great the IMF is. Phrases like "colossal benefit," a "a ton of investors" or "many great opportunities for foreign investment, which greatly impact Cambodia's economy" are persuading the reader to think a certain way about IMF, rather than letting the reader decide for them based on facts.
I suggest you check out this training module for a refresher on what's an acceptable source, and find 3 - 5 reliable sources to support the text in the article. If you can't find reliable sources to support the text, then that text shouldn't be on Wikipedia. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out. Looping in @Bergmanucsd.
