Welcome!
editHello, Sandrews 20, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Shalor 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.

editHi, I saw that you edited this page here. The edits were removed, but I wanted to explain why. Ian (Wiki Ed) is the main person in charge of the class, but I wanted to give a quick explanation:
- This was completely unsourced - all additions must be sourced to a reliable source. Since this deals with the body and self, you need to follow the sourcing guidelines on this page and this training module.
- The page is of Featured Article status, which means that it's one of the highest quality articles on Wikipedia. Any edits to a page that is of high quality should be discussed on the article's talk page first. This should also be done if the page topic can be seen as controversial.
- The tone here was fairly casual - material should be written in a formal tone. You also want to avoid including your own research or conclusions, as this can be seen as original research.
- Avoid bolding live contributions. Bolding is done sparingly on Wikipedia and only in specific circumstances. You can read about this here.
I hope this helps! Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 23:28, 25 June 2020 (UTC)
- You made unsourced edits again, which I reverted (diff). Please consult with Wiki Ed mentors, such as Shalor (Wiki Ed), and read about how to properly edit pages before making further edits.

There are many ways you can contribute to Wikipedia. Here are a few ideas:

To get some practice editing you can use a sandbox. You can create your own personal sandbox for use any time. It's perfect for working on bigger projects. Then for easy access in the future, you can put {{My sandbox}} on your userpage.
Please remember to:
- Always sign your posts on talk pages. You can do this either by clicking on the
button on the edit toolbar or by typing four tildes ~~~~at the end of your post. This will automatically insert your signature, a link to your talk page, and a timestamp. - Leave descriptive edit summaries for your edits. Doing so helps other editors understand what changes you have made and why you made them.
