Thank you very much Schazjmd!
I have been researching nodosaurids as of recent and went to the Borealopelta page and noticed that there was a little bit of misinformation about the organism in the paleoecology section. Decided it was a good opportunity to make an attempt at editing the Wikipedia page to contribute at least something to the world's largest encyclopedia.
I really appreciate the welcome to the site alongside the tutorials and resources. The source editor was a little tricky to use especially when citing my references, the visual editor looks like it will come in handy, very accessible.
Considering the facts that the community seems to be rather friendly and the enjoyment I received from the slightly challenging but also rewarding endeavor that is editing an article, I do think that I may be here to stay!
By the way, I appreciate the correction of the typo I made, apologies for somehow not spotting that when I was rereading. I'd better pay attention next time.
Thanks again!

Citations are challenging, for sure. User:Nick Moyes/Easier Referencing for Beginners can be helpful. And for many citations (web and book), this tool is a great shortcut: enter the URL or ISBN and it formats the reference for you. If you ever have any questions, feel free to ping me here or post on my talk page. Cheers! Schazjmd (talk) 15:28, 8 April 2021 (UTC)Reply
Alright, got it. I'll make good use of these. If I ever need help with something, I'll be sure to swing by. Once again, it's a pleasant surprise that the Wikipedia community is this friendly. I appreciate all of the assistance you have given me thus far. Denosur (talk) 01:26, 9 April 2021 (UTC)Reply
