Welcome!

Hello, Miavspangler, 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.

Response

Hi! I wanted to respond to you on your talk page.

When adding any new information to an article, always make sure that you're using a reliable source. Not all sources are usable, so be extremely careful, especially when it comes to pop culture since there are a lot of self-published and otherwise unusable sources out there. If the source is something like say, a review of the performance in an outlet like Rolling Stone magazine or the Las Vegas Review-Journal, those would definitely be usable as source. Primary sources, such as a write-up on the official website for Lady Gaga Enigma, would be OK as well. However what we can't use are things like a blog or forum post that was written by a random person.

The sentence needs to be tweaked a little for flow and clarity. If the source only confirms that she wears the costume during these two songs, then the sentence should only cover those two songs. Also, be careful of descriptions since saying that something is robot-like can be seen as a personal observation.

I hope this helps! Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 15:02, 23 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
