editHello, Chargerdude, 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.

editHi! I saw that you added to this article and have some notes for you:
- Make sure that everything you add to an article is sourced with a reliable source that explicitly states the claim, as otherwise the content can be challenged and removed, as is what happened with this article.
- Avoid making any point of view comments or original research. Content like that is subjective to the reader, as the next person may not agree with what you've written. There's also the question as to whether or not the content is accurate. The only time content like that can be added is if it's taken from a reliable source and we're attributing it to an authority within the article along the lines of "According to...".
- Avoid using language like 'we', 'you', and 'our', as this is too informal and comes across like a single person writing to a specific audience - it also makes it easier to assume things of the reader. There's more information about this here. Also be careful of vague time periods, as this can be unclear for readers unfamiliar with the time period, as well as because something can become dated fairly quickly.
I hope this helps! This may seem like a lot, but it's mostly just general stuff to watch out for. Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 20:40, 10 September 2019 (UTC)
