Welcome!

Hello, Omp2c, 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

I have some notes for you on the article for Ebola '76

• Any point of view statements must be attributed to the person making them. For example, I would avoid describing something as dark and witty unless you're attributing this to the specific person who made the claim. You want to avoid something coming across as the personal opinion of a single writer or Wikipedia.

• The reception section needs to be sourced. It also needs to be written in prose format as opposed to a collection of review snippets. I'd look over articles like To Kill a Mockingbird as an example of how the section should be written. The article really needs more sourcing in general.

• The article should only contain content as it applies to the book. The section on the Ebola outbreak is unnecessary, as there's already an article on the general topic of Ebola that has a section on the outbreak in Zaire and mentions other outbreaks.

I hope that this helps. Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 14:10, 17 April 2019 (UTC)
