Welcome![edit]

Hello, Bphilip0000, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Ian 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.

Your additions to the Human trafficking article[edit]

Hi. I see that you're new here, at least with this username. Welcome to Wikipedia.

I happened to see this recent edit and I've undone your additions there because I think they have problems needing fixing. I think this is better initially discussed here than on the article talk page. I'm a nitpicker and these are nits I happened to pick. Hopefully this info about them will be helpful to you in making improvements.

  • The addition to the Revenue section says, "The International Labour Organization came out with a study ...".The validity timeframe of this is unclear, begging the presumption that this info is current (and note problems with "current" described in MOS:DATED). The cited supporting source here is itself undated, but mentions studies with 2012 and 2014 dates, links to this document (copyright 2015), and mentions workshops scheduled in 2015 and 2016. From this, I suspect that the info in your addition supported by this source is not current but was probably 2016ish. Also, the initial phrasing would probably be better as something like, "A study in [whenever] by [whomever] indicated ...".
  • The paragraph added at the end of the General section similarly presents information without indicating its validity timeframe, citing this 2018 article without dating it in the citation but indicating, "Retreived May 12, 2021". Also, though less problematical, that source is cited twice separately; the citations ought to have been collected together as described here.

Problems such as these are too common in Wikipedia articles, and I thought I would mention these to you at the outset.
