Hello, Andrea10303, and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your recent improvement to Women of the Wall. I wanted to point out two things about it to you.

First, I noticed that you changed the spelling of "recognise" to "recognize". In general, we don't change the use of British English spelling (recognise, organise, labour, etc.) to American English spelling (recognize, organize, labor, etc.) or vice versa—provided the use is consistent throughout the article. See WP:ENGVAR. We typically strive for a consistent reading experience, so we try not to mix and match "national varieties of English" within an article ("labour organization" would be a real no-no), but if one system of spelling is already in use, we try to follow it. (If neither spelling system seems to be in use, or if both are being used, feel free to straighten out the article by making all the spelling consistent with one national variety or another.)

Second, I noticed that in two places in the paragraph on "Women of the Wall's position", you included links to your sandbox. Linking from one article to another is strongly encouraged, but linking from articles to editors' sandboxes is discouraged. You should copy the material from your sandbox into the article. If you're not sure how to copy the footnotes, I'd be more than happy to help you.

As I said, I appreciate your improvement to the article and I hope you continue to improve it (and other Wikipedia articles that interest you). Thank you. — Malik Shabazz Talk/Stalk 03:18, 9 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
