Organizing your user page
[edit]You might want to organize your user page by adding a new section entitled, "Pages I'm editing" and then putting the internal link to the Wikipedia page in that section. To do so, go to your user page, click the "New Section" tab at the top right of the page. In the body of the section, click the icon to insert a link and just type the name of the page you're working on. After a second or two, you should see a message that says "Page Exists" which means that it found the Wikipedia page and will create an internal link to it rather than an external link like the one you currently have on there.

Revising sources on article talk page
[edit]The information you posted to the racial profiling talk page has lots of resources attached. You need to format your references as if you were doing a bibliography. The way they are now For examples, see how the references are formatted at the bottom of the main article page for racial profiling (for instance, include author names, dates, titles, etc). Also, be sure that your descriptions are your own paraphrases rather copies of the abstracts. The way the descriptions are written now on the talk page violates Wikipedia's plagiarism policy because they're direct quotes without quotation marks. A better strategy is to provide a one or two-sentence description of where you think the article fits into the article. This is something that should be changed asap because it violates the plagiarism policy. Profmwilliams (talk) 17:11, 4 October 2014 (UTC)
article review draft

Hello, I have found this image you uploaded at Wikimedia Commons. Unless we crop existing images to cut off undesired portions there is no point in artificially shrinking of a file's size. Generally, the images stored at Commons and Wikipedia should have the highest possible resolution and there should be only one exact copy of a file (like File:Advokat, Engelsk advokatdräkt, Nordisk familjebok.png), but no scaled down versions. When you embed images in a Wikipedia article, the "thumb" parameter will automatically adjust the size of the image, so you don't have to upload a resized version. I have therefore tagged the Lawyer image for quick deletion at Commons. Regards, De728631 (talk) 23:27, 28 November 2014 (UTC)
