Welcome!

Hello, JByam UG, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Shalor and I work with the Wiki Education Foundation; I help support students who are editing as part of a class assignment.

I hope you enjoy editing here. If you haven't already done so, please check out the student training library, which introduces you to editing and Wikipedia's core principles.

Feedback

Nice work on the British Columbia Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. Some things to do moving forward

• You need to copyedit your work carefully. You need to start all your sentences with capital letters, for example.
• You need to add links to other Wikipedia articles. Topics and terms that are likely to be unfamiliar to the average reader should be linked the first time they appear in the article.
• References should appear immediately after the statements they support. There should be a minimum of one reference per paragraph, and there shouldn’t be any text after the last reference in a paragraph.
• Some of your additions need to be re-worked for tone. A lot of it sounds fairly promotional right now. You're writing an encyclopedia article, not a promotional blurb - it should be something that both supporters and opponents of the group should see as a fair representation. You need to stick to the facts. I removed the donation link - donation links are inappropriate on Wikipedia. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 14:55, 7 May 2018 (UTC)
