Hello, RacMell, 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.

A barnstar for you!

The Original Barnstar

Hey Rachael! This article is wonderful so far! It is well worded and I like how you break it off into different sections so that it is easy for the eye to follow. You did a wonderful job at making the article neutral by summarazing her beliefs as opinions and not facts. I like how you write about Trask's different viewpoints on politics. It would be great if you could elaborate on some of her research and writings. Hannahdelancey (talk) 17:31, 15 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @RacMell: I had to undo nearly all of your contributions to Mililani Trask, unfortunately. Almost everything you wrote was uncited. When you add content to an Wikipedia article the burden of proof is on you to prove what you say is true by citing it with reliable sources. The content that you wrote is still accessible via the article history if you have an interest in adding it again with citations. Elysia (Wiki Ed) (talk) 20:25, 11 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Elysia_(Wiki_Ed) thank you for your feedback. I checked Mililani Trask's page and it looks like only the Family and Office of Hawaiian Affairs sections are still there and those are the sections I contributed to, not the ones that are no longer there.
