Welcome
[edit]Hello, Jmblaze325 and welcome to Wikipedia! It appears you are participating in a class project. If you haven't done so already, we encourage you to go through our training for students.
If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place {{Help me}} before the question. Please also read this helpful advice for students.
Before you create an article, make sure you understand what kind of articles are accepted here. Remember: Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and while many topics are encyclopedic, some things are not.
Your instructor or professor may wish to set up a course page, and if your class doesn't already have one please tell your instructor about that. It is highly recommended that you place this text: {{Educational assignment}} on the talk page of any articles you are working on as part of your Wikipedia-related course assignment. This will let other editors know this article is a subject of an educational assignment and aid your communication with them.
We hope you like it here and encourage you to stay even after your assignment is finished! ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 22:12, 10 February 2022 (UTC)

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.

Anna Blunden
[edit]Hi. Your additions to the Anna Blunden article were reverted for several reasons, including the fact that you didn't include inline sources - and, in fact, removed some that were already in the article. You also changed spellings from English to American English, and added opinions ("unfortunately") in several places in the article.
Everything you add to Wikipedia needs to be tied directly to a reliable source. After the statement, there should be a source. You can use a single source to support several sentences in a row, if it supports everything you say in those sentences, but you need to have at least one source per paragraph, and you shouldn't have any text after the final reference in a paragraph (because that content is effectively unsourced). If you need a refresher on how to add citations, please consult this training module.
Wikipedia allows articles to be written in any regional variety of English, but you aren't supposed to change from one to another. In addition, an article that's closely tied to one region should use the standard spelling of that region.
You also made your changes in one big edit. Remember that it's better to add content in several smaller edits rather than one big one. This allows other editors to revert anything they find problematic without having to revert your entire addition to the article. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 17:50, 11 May 2022 (UTC)
