Wiki Education assignment: Capstone - Criminal Justice Reform

This article is currently the subject of a Wiki Education Foundation-supported course assignment, between 5 September 2024 and 10 December 2024. Further details are available on the course page. Student editor(s): Arisgin (article contribs).

@Arisgin: I've come across this article and I'm confused by your contributions. I understand you may be new and on an an assignment:

• In this edit, you introduced a source that appears entirely unrelated to the subject, where picking https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/1 seems just bogus.
• In this subsequent one, you kind of parroted Securus Technologies's about page, in a way that I would say is clearly not encyclopedic as it reads like an ad for the company.
• In this later one, you removed substantial portions of seemingly fine and properly source content, without any explanation whatsoever (maybe you had a good reason that I can't see, but edit summaries are important!).

Please let me know what you think of this feedback, as I don't want to discourage you from contributing or fulfilling your assignment, but I am indeed perplexed by the above, and Wikipedia is not just a place where you can experiment at will with things like removing substantial sourced content or summarizing a marketing page, at least not in article space.

The source is listed actually was not a source i contributed to the page. Maybe the way i cited it navigated you a different cite but that was not one of my sources of information. As far as the Securus technologies part of it, I can understand the way i worded it that it may sound like an ad and I could have maybe wrote differently, however i think under the sections of "providers" it is essential to add some of those things in there to bring knowledge of what these providers offer rather than statistics and money signs and people that personally people who want to know more about the inmate system do not really care about. Arisgin (talk) 16:36, 25 November 2024 (UTC)

I don't understand, in the edit where I thogught you added an unrelated source, the edit summary literally says "cited source", and the diff shows you adding that citation. If I look at the previous revision of the page, that "https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/1" doesn't appear anywhere. So if I made a mistake in thinking you added it, I apologize; sometimes edit history does get confusing. But I still can't understand how I made that mistake... can you point out where that same source was in a prior revision to your edit?

As to the Securus technologies part, keep in mind it does already have its own well-cited article. There might be things that make sense to add within this article, but with what you added specifically, I am feeling fairly confident it wouldn't pass most Wikipedians' smell test: it's not just about how you worded it, but if you simply cite Securus and basically reword what they say about themselves, that's not an independent sources, in fact there's such a conflict of interest in themselves talking about themselves positively that I don't think it can be considered acceptable, even though primary sources like that in general can be acceptable in Wikipedia articles when used sparingly and with care. But, really, not their own marketing twist of how good they are... LjL (talk) 18:25, 25 November 2024 (UTC)
