Welcome!

Hello, Cmccabe20, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Adam 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.

Suboptimal referencing syntax

Hi Cmccabe20,

Thanks for your addition to the article on Goneril. These articles certainly could use some attention. However, in your edit you used the {{cite web}} referencing template, and cited your addition to the address of an internal server at Fordham (not accessible for the general Wikipedia visitor). It would be better to use the {{cite journal}} template with appropriate parameters to identify the article in question, that way readers can use whatever methods they have available to them to access it. Granted, volume 27 of American Imago doesn't appear to be available in the online journal repositories like Project MUSE, so in this case this will be a little less convenient; but it will at least be possible to track down the cite. --Xover (talk) 16:37, 30 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
