Hello, Dani3lle.mp4, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Ian and I work with Wiki Education; 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.

Hello, I'm Isaidnoway. I noticed that you recently removed an image and reference improvements from Elise Forrest Harleston without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. The removed image and reference improvements have been restored. Please don't revert edits that improve references, when they are compliant with Wikipedia's reliability policy and our source citation guidelines. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. Thanks. Isaidnoway (talk) 09:39, 22 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

I never took your image off of the article, I honestly don't know how that happened, that has nothing to do with me. As for you telling to use sandbox, this an assignment for my college course to publish new and updated information to the article, not experimenting. My information that I have put up is from peer reviewed scholarly sources. Thank you. Dani3lle.mp4 (talk) 22:02, 23 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
Someone using your account made this edit which removed the image from the article and undid all my ref improvements. Does someone else have access to your account? And in this edit seen here, made on April 20 by your account, a reference was added from The Post and Courier, which is a newspaper, not a peer reviewed scholarly source, you should have used the {{cite news}} citation template, and for the thesis/dissertation reference you added, you should have used the {{cite thesis}} citation template. The {{cite journal}} template you used for both references is reserved for academic and scientific papers published in scholarly journals. You can familiarize yourself with our citation templates and their proper usage here. And your sandbox is for testing or practicing edits. And also please see MOS:BADDATE for how to properly format dates, in this edit, your wrote May 10th, which is  N unacceptable. Here are some links below you might find useful. I hope your college course is successful!


Happy editing! Cheers, Isaidnoway (talk) 16:45, 24 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
I am the only one with access to my account, again I simply clicked on your image to see what it was, but I never deleted it. I'm not sure why it says that my account deleted it because I didn't, I had no reason to delete your photo, it might've been a glitch, I truthfully and honestly did not delete your photo. As for my source, I went through my university's library database and filtered out for peer-reviewed scholarly articles and journals, the source was put under that classification. As for the date, Wikipedia states here that the proper way to add a date is: Wikipedia's guidelines for formatting dates (MOS:DATEFORMAT) set out the three date formats acceptable for use in Wikipedia articles, namely:
  1. Day–month–year (DMY) format—e.g., 22 April 2024 or 22 Apr 2024;
  2. Month–day–year (MDY) format—e.g., April 22, 2024 or Apr 22, 2024;
  3. Year–month–day (YMD) format—e.g., 2024-04-25 (also called the "all-numeric" format; used only where space is limited, such as in references and some tables and infoboxes, but not in article text proper).
I used Month - day - year (May 10, 1931), you could've corrected my date, instead of deleting it fully.
