Welcome!
Hello, KatherineEditor, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay.

Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations verified in reliable, reputable print or online sources or in other reliable media. Always provide a reliable source for quotations and for any material that is likely to be challenged, or it may be removed. Wikipedia also has a related policy against including original research in articles.

Thanks for your help with the article, but I just want to give you a few pointers so your edits can stick around. First, you updated some population figures, but didn't "show your work". To indicate that you've verified your changes for something that was previously sourced, you can simply update the "access-date" parameter of the cited reference. Next, there was an   template that you removed, which is a useful tool for editors to keep tabs on stale data and provides a very necessary context for time. You could've changed the field from   to   . Finally, adding "Kuwait has been a noticeable supporter of Literature in general." without a reliable source to back it would be considered original research. I hope that wasn't too harsh. My first go at editing wasn't smooth either, but it quickly improved thanks to observing best practices and pointers from other helpful editors on the site. Hope to see you around more! →‎ GS →‎ ☎ → 04:40, 2 April 2020 (UTC)
