[edit]Hello, D15799281, 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.

Referencing
[edit]Hi, I noticed your edits on Romance (love). You're not inserting references correctly. You've been inserting <sup> and linking to your sandbox. In articles, please insert references the way that you do in your sandbox, such as <ref>{{Cite journal|last=de Jong|first=Michelle|last2=Collins|first2=Anthony|date=2017|title=Love and looks: A discourse of romantic love and consumer culture|url=http://dx.doi.org/10.18820/24150479/aa49i1.5|journal=Acta Academica|volume=49|issue=1|doi=10.18820/24150479/aa49i1.5|issn=0587-2405}}</ref>.

- D15799281, you just did it again in this edit. Please fix the references in "Relationship maintenance". Also, do not add bold to section titles, and only the first word should be capitalized unless the other words are proper nouns. Thanks. Schazjmd (talk) 22:23, 2 August 2019 (UTC)
- I figured out what the problem is. You're copying the content from your published sandbox page and pasting it into the article edit space. That won't work properly. You need to copy the wikitext from the editing view of your sandbox, and then paste it into the article edit space. Hope that helps! Schazjmd (talk) 22:33, 2 August 2019 (UTC)
- Thanks Schazjmd! D15799281, I have some other notes for you:
- The first is that you used a great many quotes. Be careful of overusing quotes, as you should only use them when you can't summarize the content into your own words without losing something major.
- The second is that you used studies as sources without pairing it with a secondary source. he reason for this is that studies are primary sources for any of the claims and research conducted by their authors. The publishers don't provide any commentary or in-depth verification, as they only check to ensure that the study doesn't have any glaring errors that would invalidate it immediately. Study findings also tend to be only true for the specific people or subjects that were studied. For example, a person in one area may respond differently than one in an area located on the other side of the country. Socioeconomic factors (be they for the person or a family member) also play a large role, among other things that can impact a response. As such, it's definitely important to find a secondary source, as they can provide this context, verification, and commentary. Aside from that, there's also the issue of why a specific study should be highlighted over another. For example, someone could ask why one study was chosen as opposed to something that studied a similar topic or had different results.
- Definitely watch out for these two things! Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 15:01, 5 August 2019 (UTC)
