Class Today
Hey Eric. I've been sick all week which is why I haven't been in class. Let me know what you guys need me to do to make sure this plan gets done. Thanks, Jon Luchansky Jcl41 (talk) 18:48, 9 October 2009 (UTC)

Your edits
Re:. Good start, but you should add more content. Don't forget about wiki hyperlinks, and inline references (every sentence should be referenced). The list of countries (table) also should have a reference. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus 21:13, 3 November 2009 (UTC)

Hey Eric, I know...it was my bad. We were editing at the same time and I accidentally deleted your edits. I think I put back what was necessary though. Let me know or fix it if it needs to be changed.Jcl41 (talk) 01:26, 16 November 2009 (UTC)

Semi-periphery countries
As the editor reviewing Semi-periphery countries, I noticed your recent addition to the article. Here is what I wrote on the review page: "I need to emphasize at this time that Wikipedia articles are not dissertations. Encyclopedias, as tertiary resources, should be compiled based on already-published research with no novel synthesis. The relevant editorial policies are No original research and Reliable sources. If those claims are mentioned in the document which you have cited, rephrase it to indicate that you are referring to already-published material rather than making a claim of your own." @harej 05:21, 17 November 2009 (UTC)

copyright issues
You'll need to rewrite your contributions to ensure there are no WP:COPYVIO violations like this one. You are doing too much Close paraphrasing. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus 01:29, 24 November 2009 (UTC)

Semi-periphery_countries GA review
I have put the GA review of Semi-periphery countries on hold as I feel based on a source check that there is a possibility the information as presented could be unreliable. I would like an expert on the subject to check over the article before resuming the review. See Talk:Semi-periphery countries/GA2.  SilkTork  *YES! 12:34, 17 February 2010 (UTC)
