Copyedit an Article
I'm sorry to say your changes didn't address any errors in need of correction, and you in fact ended up introducing an error ("She is very a smart overachiever"). No need to fix it - someone already did it for you. Josef Horáček (talk) 18:19, 25 February 2018 (UTC)

Adding Sources
There are multiple problems with your sandbox.
 * 1. I don't see what article you're working on. Can you add it to your dashboard?
 * 2. I only see one source. You should have two.
 * 3. Your source is improperly cited. Include all the necessary bibliographic information in a single line. Do not include the URL.
 * 4. Is the text in your sandbox from the WP article? You should also include a corresponding excerpt from the source.

Post your corrections within a week. Josef Horáček (talk) 22:48, 3 March 2018 (UTC)


 * I looked at your revision. I saw that you chose a new article and found a good source. That source is ready to be added to the article. What's missing is a second source. In effect, you only finished half of the assignment! Josef Horáček (talk) 17:58, 22 April 2018 (UTC)


 * Your second source is good, but it only supports the first part of the excerpt from the WP article. That's not a problem as long as you add it in the right place. It should go right after "media organisations and wider discourse routinely mischaracterise vegan diets." Go ahead and add both sources. Josef Horáček (talk) 02:06, 30 April 2018 (UTC)


 * I've been notified by Wikipedia staff that you've tried to add text that's been taken from another published source. In other words, they suspect plagiarism. Did you actually add or change any of the text in the article rather than just adding sources? If so, where did the text come from? The changes have been removed and deleted from the history. If the sources you found are legitimate, you should try to add them again without changing the actual wording of the article. Josef Horáček (talk) 19:36, 1 May 2018 (UTC)


 * I see you've added the second source, but if you look at the works cited in the article, you'll notice this source was already one of the listed sources. In fact, both of your sources were already in the article when you chose to work on it. If you browse through the history of the article, you'll also notice that you stepped right in the middle of an edit war! It's time to walk away from this one. You're done!

Adding a Lead to "Cartography of Asia"
This article is short and very incomplete. It's basically just a collection of disconnected tidbits. Do your best to produce a coherent summary for your lead. You should keep it rather short. Post a draft within a week. Josef Horáček (talk) 17:56, 1 April 2018 (UTC)


 * I don't see your draft of the lead. Please post it in your sandbox as soon as you can. Josef Horáček (talk) 23:25, 22 April 2018 (UTC)


 * The topic of the article you chose is restricted specifically to CIA activities in Colombia, and that' what your lead should cover. Much of your draft is irrelevant: general info about the location of the country or its crime-fighting efforts can be found in the article on Colombia. The article you're working on is only concerned with the activities of the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency in Colombia. Again, you can keep the lead short, simply summarizing the types of activities the CIA is involved with, which I believe is mainly fighting cocaine production and various extremist groups, especially the FARC. See what the article says. You should post a new draft in the next three days. Josef Horáček (talk) 02:18, 30 April 2018 (UTC)


 * I saw you added the lead. You're done! Josef Horáček (talk) 16:43, 6 May 2018 (UTC)
