User talk:CamJ8

Welcome!
Hello, CamJ8, 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. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me on my talk page. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 14:41, 11 January 2022 (UTC)

Neutrality
Wikipedia articles must be written with a neutral point of view, meaning we do not ascribe values of "goodness", "badness", etc. to the subjects, we just describe them neutrally. Specifically, in your edit to The Gift of Knowledge, you wrote:
 * The Pacific Northwest Quarterly understands the value of this book as they describe The Gift of Knowledge (emphasis added)

When you write that the PNQ understands the value of this book, you presuppose that this book has value, a non-neutral judgment. I have rewritten the sentence as
 * The Pacific Northwest Quarterly describes The Gift of Knowledge

The PNQ quote is retained so that we may fully know their positive opinion of the book, but the positive opinion must belong to the PNQ, not to Wikipedia. WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 11:47, 9 June 2022 (UTC)
