Mentoring[edit]

Hi Alicia, sorry for the late answer, I've been very busy over the last week. I am happy to be your mentor! If you have questions or need feedback regarding your edits, always feel free to contact me on my user talk page. I will keep an eye on your edits and help out where I can. I see you already have a sandbox, which is a good way to start testing your editing skills. If you are certain you will take on the World Vision article you can add it to your course page here. Happy editing! --Elekhh (talk) 21:13, 23 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Alicia, your first edit on the article is pretty good, so I would also encourage you to be bold and proceed with further improvements. A tiny technical suggestions from my part: when referencing provide a description of source in addition to the weblink as I amended here. Happy editing. -Elekhh (talk) 00:07, 6 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Editing

Hi again, nice to see you continue the work on the article. I just want to introduce you to two more editing features:

For each edit you can provide an edit summary. This will help other editors easily identify the changes you made, and assists you as needed.
You can reuse the same reference in an article by giving it a name, as I did here. More info about the basics of referencing you can find here.

cheers, --Elekhh (talk) 01:44, 26 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks so much for the help! I am going to be editing a lot more tonight because the project is due in a couple of days! I will make sure use the edit summary from now on! Feel free to address anymore issues you may find! Thanks again:) Ajcoll02 (talk) 01:49, 26 April 2011 (UTC)Alicia[reply]

World Vision, World Vision US, World Vision International[edit]

Hi Alicia. I noticed that an user moved the article World Vision to World Vision United States without discussing it. In the meanwhile several editors indicated on the article's talk page that they were against the move. The same user who moved the page, created World Vision International and copy pasted a lot of material from the original World Vision article. This was all against normal procedures, and probably should be reverted. However I would like to hear your opinion first as you are much more knowledgeable on the subject. Best you comment directly on the article's talk page .

Another thing: I removed your addition to Child sponsorship, as the text you inserted did not relate directly to the article's topic. As in any encyclopaedia, Wikipedia articles should be compact and avoid repetition. World Vision was already mentioned in the article and anybody interested in its overall activity can simply follow the link. However if their approach to child sponsorship is distinct from that of other organisations, than that information would belong into the article. --Elekhh (talk) 08:55, 27 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
