Welcome!

Hello, LucyPadron, 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.

Notes

Hi! I wanted to give you some notes on your work. Offhand everything looks good - I only have two notes. The first is to make sure to avoid writing in a casual tone, specifically using words like "we", "our", and so on - this is just a wee bit too casual for Wikipedia. The second is to make sure that you have secondary sources for any studies that you use in the article. The reason for this is that studies are seen as primary sources for any claims or research created by its authors, as the journals that published the content only looked to make sure that the study didn't have any obvious issues or errors that would invalidate it. Secondary sources that cover the material helps fill this need, as well as show where the study is notable enough to highlight.

Other than those two notes, the work looks good! Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 17:18, 6 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
