Welcome!

Hello, AJMARI, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Shalor and I work with Wiki Education; 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.

Manhattan Project

Hi! I saw that you chose to edit an article of high quality, meaning that it's of Featured quality status. What this means is that the article is among the best of the best articles on Wikipedia and as such, is seen as complete as an article can generally be on Wikipedia.

This in turn means that it will be far more difficult for you to find something to add, correct, or expand on than it would be for a lower quality article. High quality status articles are also more likely to be more heavily watched or edited, so there is a higher chance for pushback on any new edits. This is especially applicable when it comes to very major and important topics like the Manhattan Project. Not only is this a Featured Article on a major topic, but it's also part of a major topic series that has itself received Featured status.

As such any edits you make to the article are extremely likely to be reverted unless you discuss them and receive consensus on the article's talk page before adding them live. You may want to find an article of lower quality to work on, as this would be easier to expand and would likely have less pushback. You may want to instead work on the article on The Making of the Atomic Bomb, as this book is pretty much just a stub. Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 15:47, 6 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
