Welcome!
[edit]Hello, MTN Dew 22, 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.

CC sourcing
[edit]Hi! Great job on finding the Shields et al source - as well as finding something open source with a compatible Creative Commons license! That's a really great find, so good job! My only note is that when we pull from a source that has a compatible CC license we have to add attribution tags, but that's not something you'd have known about so no worries - I added it for you. Again, great find! Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 13:49, 9 October 2019 (UTC)
- Oh - one other quick note. Make sure to avoid point of view terms when it comes to articles, unless we're attributing it to a specific person or organization. I removed the sentence that states that having more information is essential. While I do agree with this and I think many others would as well, saying that it's essential is subjective as not all readers may share the same viewpoint. It's also not entirely neutral, as it implies a specific stance on the matter. It's one of those things that wouldn't really raise an eyebrow outside of Wikipedia but on here is seen differently.
