Hello, Btrent2, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Ian 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.

Common starling

[edit]

Hello Btrent2, and welcome to Wikipedia.

I see you are a student editor. I don't know what your course assignment is, but the only edits you seem to have made so far are to the article Common starling. If you look at the top right-hand corner of the page you will see a silver star, which means that article has been extensively reviewed and achieved "featured status" within Wikipedia. It would have been easier for you if you had been allotted a less well-developed article. What you added was relevant and suitable for inclusion but I had to reformat the references to bring them up to standard. In fact you used a Prince et al study as a source, but actually added an irrelevant Zann, RA. study about zebra finches to the cited texts instead of Prince et al. Good luck with your coursework.
