Welcome!

Hello, Emilyrosenthal, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Brianda 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.

Edits to La Mulâtresse Solitude article

Hi @Emilyrosenthal, Coachscott3: You added unsourced text to the article on La Mulâtresse Solitude, which makes it difficult for readers to verify factual statements in your article. Every statement should be followed by a supporting citation; if a group of sentences are all supported by the same source, you can place a single reference after all of them, but you need to have at least one reference per paragraph, and you shouldn't have any statements after the final reference in a paragraph. If you need a refresher on how to add citations, please consult this training module.

Reminder: You should only use quotes when the precise wording significantly improves the reader's understanding, and even then, it should generally be less than than 5-8 words. The use of copyright content on Wikipedia needs to be kept to a minimum. If you have any questions or would like clarification, feel free to reach out to me.

I understand the need to keep quotations to a minimum, but since there are so few sources I thought I would include the original passage that was written about to provide context to frame the entire article. Emilyrosenthal (talk) 19:39, 5 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
