Welcome!

Hello, Carlamtzb, 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.

Handouts

You can find answers to many student questions on our Q&A site, ask.wikiedu.org

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me on my talk page. Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 20:29, 15 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Some tips

Articles need to have sources WP:VERIFY which are considered to be reliable by our criteria. Sources must explicitly back the text and cannot be combined to make a statement not explicitly made in a source. Sources must of course be about the subject of the article. This is much more limiting than the requirements for a university degree essay or even PhD or journal article. Also read WP:NOR. Our policies are why your edits are being reverted. Have you seen the WP:Edit summaries in the history of the article? Doug Weller talk 13:57, 14 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
