Welcome!
Hello, Alejandrosalva, 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) 13:34, 12 September 2018 (UTC)

Bangladesh
The content you added to this article was moved to a new article space, Hunger in Bangladesh. As such, you should work on improving this article so that it resembles articles such as Hunger in the United States. Here are some general notes to keep in mind:


 * Make sure that you are only summarizing what is explicitly stated in the source material. Otherwise, this can be seen as original research.
 * Some of the sourcing doesn't show up properly - it just shows up as "EZ Proxy | California State University, Long Beach", which means that we can't see what is backing up the claims and verify the research. This must be fixed.
 * Avoid using studies without a secondary, independent reliable source that covers it. I'm going to include this explanation I put on your fellow student's page:
 * Studies are problematic because they're primary sources for any of the claims and research created by their authors. They're also very limited out of necessity, as organizations in general lack the time, funding, and energy needed to interview every person that would fit into their study parameters. For example, this study looks at mental health and surveys 1011 children (age 11–16) and 1011 adult caregivers in a school-based study. The issue here is that even if this was randomized, it won't give a complete view of the population as it only surveys children and adults who belong to the school system. There are still those who are unable to attend school for whatever reason, so this doesn't really represent those individuals and any information they would get about them would be second hand and thus, potentially incorrect since it would all be anecdotal. There's also the issue of verification, as the publishers don't reproduce the study - they only review it to make sure that there are no glaring errors that would instantly invalidate the study.
 * This training module goes over the use of studies as sourcing. It deals with medical topics, however the content about studies would still hold valid in general.


 * Make sure that all major claims are attributed to the person or organization making the claim.
 * Make sure that you avoid coming across like you're writing a persuasive or argumentative essay. The article should not come across like it's for or against any specific vantage point - the main goal is to present the material as neutrally as possible and leave it up to the reader to make their own judgement call one way or another.

This is more of a start of notes, but I wanted to give you something to start with. Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 15:18, 18 December 2018 (UTC)
