The article I edited is Lottery. A sentence in the article needed citation, so I added it. Regarding the lottery rule, there is no evidence to prove it in the article.

I have inserted a new paragraph with a citation about recent
Government incentives for plug-in electric vehicles in China. I concluded the recent policy published by Shanghai government to understand China's effort to promote electrical vehicles. Here is the
Diff. After I have finished adding and updating the section in China, I learned how to contribute my knowledge and searching ability to help others get better understanding about China's electrical car policy, and I also learned how to publish my finding and edit it in a real wikipedia page while adding reference to enhance its credibility.

The article that I have made some edits is
Electric vehicle industry in China. Here is the diff
[2]. What I have noticed is the the original article mainly focused on the players and the performance of those players in the China EV industry. However, the future of the industry is merely discussed. Therefore, I added some contents on the policies that promotes the adoption of EV.

This week I edited an article named
Government revenue. Here is the
diff. I read this article carefully, which mainly introduces the revenue of the government. One paragraph show the government's tax revenue. However, I found that lottery tax revenue was not among them. So I added it in the paragraph. I make the government's taxes more comprehensive in this article.

I edited the
nontraditional student article and I ended up editing it 3 times in one sitting. Here is the
diff that shows my final edit compared to the last edit by a different user. I learned that the use of the sandbox is critical so that I do not publish 3 times and have 3 different edit summaries instead of one edit summary that shows all edits. I initially added a citation and new idea in the lead but realized the overall sentence that I edited should belong to the special characteristics section instead since the sentence described a special characteristic of this student.

@
Rt2510 Your edit was reverted by another editor as your contribution seemed confusing and taken directly out of the source you cited. You need to restate in your own words so it makes sense. Next time I will request you to either edit this article again with more care toward the contribution or edit another article. OK for now. Current with Week 2.

Week 2 / Cabanehippopotamus
I edited
Web Content Accessibility Guidelines by adding a source to the claim that WCAG guidelines positively affect SEO (
diff). My first inclination was to change the wording of the line to say "improve search engine relevance ranking," which is what the article specifically asserts; however, that seemed to be more a semantic change than a true contribution. After the class discussion, I am more careful to not create an unnecessary reason to have my contribution removed.
