Hi Nulartro7 I just wanted to let you know that I moved your article Illegal fishing in Africa back to your sandbox. There are some issues with how you are presenting information that makes it appear as if you are using original research (drawing your own conclusions that aren't supported with the sources you're citing. For example, in the lead, the first three references you cite have no mention of Africa whatsoever, yet you're citing them to support content specific to overfishing in Africa and associations with organized crime. You have to ensure that when you have content that cited to a source that absolutely all of your content is directly supported with that source. Otherwise, it's disingenuous, because the content will appear as if it comes from the source when perhaps it isn't fully supported. It would be great if you could go through and make sure that all of the content is actually supported by the sources you're using, and if not, either trim the content to remove original research or find more sources that support what the content actually says.

Hi Elysia, I have changed the sources on the lead section to other sources that better support the information. I also removed a section to which I could not find a proper source. Thanks, Nulartro7 (talk) 00:21, 9 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
