Welcome!

Hello, Cccm130, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Brianda 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.

Welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions, but in one of your recent edits to The Sissy Duckling, it appears that you have added original research, which is against Wikipedia's policies. Original research refers to material—such as facts, allegations, ideas, and personal experiences—for which no reliable, published sources exist; it also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources. Thank you. Materialscientist (talk) 02:17, 9 March 2023 (UTC)

Hi there! I just added a citation to a reliable article chronicling an interview with the author, I mistakenly saved/published my work before adding the citation - my mistake! I am also about to add the article to the “references” section. I will be sure to add my citations before saving my work in the future, instead of adding them after.

Article

Hi there! I just wanted to say that you did a really good job on your article and its really well made. It happened to be one of the articles I was to review for NPP training, and while there were a few things that could've been a bit better, it was overall really good. One thing I would recommend is to use a larger variety of sources, rather than reusing some multiple times. Usually reusing a source once or twice is fine, however there comes a point where it may be better to find a different source. ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 14:21, 3 May 2023 (UTC)

Thanks so much for your feedback! Very much appreciated. I’ll look into diversifying the sources I pull from, but with finals coming up it might take a bit. If I may ask, what is NPP training? I’m interested in getting more involved in Wikipedia editing and I’ve never heard this acronym so I’m just curious. Cccm130 (talk) 22:04, 3 May 2023 (UTC)

NPP training is short for New Page Patroller training. It basically allows you to learn how to do NPP without having the perms yet and can make you more likely to get the perms upon completion. ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 02:00, 4 May 2023 (UTC)

Got it, thank you! Cccm130 (talk) 16:04, 5 May 2023 (UTC)
