Welcome!

Hello, SocksOfDeath, 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.

Hi! If you have multiple sentences coming from the same source it's definitely fine to place the source at the end of the sentence or paragraph, assuming that the sentences are all pulled from the same source. You'd want to put the citation at the end of a sentence within the same paragraph if it's a particularly controversial sentence, however.

When it comes to family members, you can include some information in a personal life section since that's typically where family members are listed. The only catch is that the information should really only be a few sentences long. Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 18:17, 9 April 2019 (UTC)
