Hello, Merimoocoww and welcome to Wikipedia! It appears you are participating in a class project. If you haven't done so already, we encourage you to go through our training for students.
If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place {{Helpme}} before the question. Please also read this helpful advice for students.
Before you create an article, make sure you understand what kind of articles are accepted here. Remember: Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and while many topics are encyclopedic, some things are not.
Your instructor or professor may wish to set up a course page, if your class doesn't already have one. It is highly recommended that you place this text: {{Educational assignment}} on the talk page of any articles you are working on as part of your Wikipedia-related course assignment. This will let other editors know this article is a subject of an educational assignment and aid your communication with them.
We hope you like it here and encourage you to stay even after your assignment is finished! Jprg1966 (talk) 22:06, 14 January 2014 (UTC)

In reponse to your querry regarding is there anything you can do, I have a suggestion. Take a look at List of current members of the Maryland House of Delegates and you will see that most of the Maryland legislators names are in blue, meaning articles have been created about them. But there are at least three names in red, meaning there is no current article. If you click on those names in red you will be directed to a page prompting you to start an article. Creating an article of any of the unfinished legislator pages would be helpful. Thanks! «Marylandstater» «reply» 13:16, 8 February 2014 (UTC)

An answer to your question edit
I'm being a little nosy and have been reading the blog entries here and been helping out people with their articles. I have no connection to your class, I just feel like being helpful. :) I notice in your entry that you were confused about how to reference the same source if you needed to do it more than once? Here's how to do it.
Normally, when you cite a reference, you use <ref> at the beginning, followed by whatever template you're using, and then you end it with </ref>. If you have a source that you want to use multiple times, instead of <ref> at the beginning, you use <ref name="Whatever">, replacing the Whatever with any descriptive term that you want. Generally, the last name of the source's author is used or the name of the newspaper or publication. You then follow that beginning up with the usual template and again end it with </ref>.
After having done that once, if you want to then use the source again, all you have to do is put <ref name="Whatever"/> and the Whatever should be the same descriptive term you used for the original source reference. Also, because you added that "/" at the end there, you don't need to add anything else. No template or </ref> is needed. That alone will duplicate the reference and add a "b" in the reference list linking to that new spot.
I hope that is helpful. Did I explain it simply enough? SilverserenC 03:30, 26 March 2014 (UTC)
Disambiguation link notification for May 6 edit
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited West Indian American, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Calypso, Soca and Maxwell (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
