editHello, Tmtews, 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.

Marilyn Monroe
editHi! I saw that you chose to edit an article of Featured Article status. What this means is that the article is among the best articles on Wikipedia and as such, will be more complete than one of start or stub quality and in this case, is one of the absolute top articles on Wikipedia - the best of the best. This in turn means that it will be more difficult for you to find something to add, correct, or expand on than it would be for a lower quality article. High quality status articles are also more likely to be more heavily watched or edited, so there is an extremely higher chance for pushback on any new edits. This is especially true for articles of very high profile persons such as Marilyn Monroe.
This doesn't mean that you can't edit the page, but I would recommend reading over the article's talk page and posting about any potential edits prior to making them live, in order to gain consensus. This would be especially good if you plan to edit about anything that could be seen as controversial. You may also want to find an article of lower quality to work on, as this would be easier to expand and would likely have less pushback. Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 18:04, 16 June 2020 (UTC)
