Hello, I'm TheFarix. I noticed that you made a change to an article, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. —Farix (t &#124; c) 11:06, 19 August 2017 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. We welcome and appreciate your contributions, but we cannot accept original research. Original research refers to material—such as facts, allegations, ideas, and personal experiences—for which no reliable, published sources exist; it also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. Thank you. —Farix (t &#124; c) 11:07, 19 August 2017 (UTC)

Hello, Commander PonyShep, 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) 17:20, 14 February 2018 (UTC)

Feedback for the course assignment “Add to an article” (due 2/21/18)
I reviewed the citation you added to the Wikipedia article History of slavery in New Jersey.

This assignment is evaluated on 3 criteria:

Part 1 - completion of training module "Sources & Citations"
 * done

Part 2 - Wikipedia tech skills (On the technical side of things, was the citation added correctly?)
 * good, citation entered correctly

Part 3 - citation content (Is this reference appropriate for the Wikipedia article? Is this a reliable secondary source highlighting historical scholarship on the subject? Is all the citation information complete such as a page number for a book or URL for a website?)
 * As we discussed earlier by email, when we add references to Wikipedia, we should not quote full passages from the book.
