Welcome!

Hello, Gutierrezm136, 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.

Your edits to Poinsettia

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! I'm a volunteer editor here. I have removed your edit to poinsettia because you added medical content but the source you cited was not considered a reliable medical source. You can click that link to find out more about what makes a medical source reliable or unreliable. Another note about poinsettia--it has a little green plus sign in the upper right corner, indicating that it is a "good article" and has undergone peer review. While good articles are not perfect, they should be free of obvious errors and omissions. For your Wikipedia editing assignment, you should most likely avoid these articles, as well as articles with a bronze star in the upper corner ("featured articles").

Hi. I reverted your additions to the article because your sourcing isn't adequate. Wikipedia articles need to rely on reliable sources, preferably scholarly ones. Random websites don't meet that standard. It's also important to remember that Wikipedia articles don't include "how-to" type information, so don't add information telling people how to care for their plants.

A Good Article also needs to maintain balanced coverage of a topic, so if you add information about production. So if you're going to add information about where the plant is grown, you should focus on all the main producers. If you talk different states within one single country, but don't mention other countries, you're definitely going to unbalance the coverage. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 16:42, 7 December 2020 (UTC)

Please stick to high-quality sources. The website http://www.poinsettiaday.com/ is not a scholarly source, and doesn't seem to meet the requirements for sourcing on Wikipedia. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 21:01, 11 December 2020 (UTC)
