Welcome![edit]

Hello, Juliet2112, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of your recent edits to the page Slave Trade Act 1807 did not conform to Wikipedia's verifiability policy, and may have been removed. 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.

I appreciate that you are trying to improve some of the language in the articles around the slave trade, but you need to understand that "slave trade" is a recognised term used throughout Wikipedia (just have a look at History of slavery) for good reason (see WP:BETTER and WP:NOT), and in some cases you have introduced clumsy sentence construction, incorrectly applied capitalisation, and not adhered to the Wikipedia style guide. If you have a read through some of the articles linked to above, you will gain a better understanding of what is required, and how to ask for advice. If you wish to make wholesale changes to a longstanding article, it is better to first raise the issues on article talk pages. It is also essential to adhere to WP:NPOV in your language. And please get into the habit of using edit summaries explaining your changes. Laterthanyouthink (talk) 05:34, 9 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm Philip Trueman. I noticed that you recently made an edit to Slavery in colonial Spanish America in which your edit summary did not appear to describe the change you made. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Come on, Juliet2112, 'Typo' is just plain wrong, and you know it. Please abide by the rules here. Philip Trueman (talk) 18:03, 26 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
