Welcome![edit]

Hello, Joewesty, 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. You may also want to check out the Teahouse, a community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to helping new users. Below are some resources to help you get started editing.

Feedback for the course assignment “Add to an article” (due 2/21/18)[edit]

I reviewed the citation you added to the Wikipedia article History of slavery in New Jersey.

The citation reads: Kennedy, Michael V. (2003-01-01). "THE HIDDEN ECONOMY OF SLAVERY: COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL HIRING IN PENNSYLVANIA, NEW JERSEY AND DELAWARE, 1728-1800". Essays in Economic and Business History. 21 (1). ISSN 0896-226X.

and another one is: Gigantino, James J. "TRADING IN JERSEY SOULS:". Pennsylvania History: A Journal of Mid-Atlantic Studies. 77 (3): 282. doi:10.5325/pennhistory.77.3.0281.

This assignment is evaluated on 3 criteria:

Part 1 - completion of training module "Sources & Citations"

Done

Part 2 - Wikipedia tech skills (was the citation added correctly?)

Good, citation entered correctly. One thing you may want to fix: the Hidden Economy of Slavery article URL currently leads to https://doaj.org, which is not really the right link for the article. A good link for this article would be http://www.ebhsoc.org/journal/index.php/journal/article/view/102.

Part 3 - citation content (Is this reference appropriate for the Wikipedia article? Is this a reliable secondary source highlighting historical scholarship on the subject? Is all the citation information complete such as a page number for a book or URL for a website?)

Great, the sources are appropriate and the citation is complete with page numbers.
