 * Hi! I'll look over your work and let you know if I have any notes. Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 18:36, 24 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Here are my notes:
 * Make sure that you avoid point of view terms like "unconventional", as those are seen as fairly subjective to the reader. In general watch out for anything that could be seen as a personal reflection on or interpretation of source material.
 * Be careful with studies. It's not that they can't be used, but the issue is that they're seen as a primary source for the data, theories, and conclusions generated by the researchers. The journal doesn't really verify the research overall - it predominantly just looks to make sure that there aren't any glaring errors with the content, as well as give editorial oversight for flow, grammar, spelling, and such. To help resolve issues with studies you'll need to find a secondary source that covers the study - Google Scholar is a good tool for this.
 * I hope that this helps! Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 19:05, 24 April 2018 (UTC)

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.
