Hello, Ishapunja, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Adam and I work with the Wiki Education Foundation; 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.

Electoral college

edit

In your recent edit to Electoral college (United States) had several problems:

  • You accidentally removed one of the closing double-brackets (]]) at the end of a pre-existing wikilink.
  • You accidentally added <ref></ref> at the end of the wikilink you added
  • You added an extra empty bullet (*) after the added wikilink
  • You didn't include any descriptive text with the external link you added.
  • You accidentally added <ref></ref> at the end of the external link you added

I fixed these problems for you here and here. I would suggest that the external link in not really appropriate to this article, but it would be good to add it to Voter turnout in the United States presidential elections. To do that correctly, you'll have to figure out how to add a new (External links) section to that article.

You can click on the links above to see a before/after difference of your edit and each of mine. I would suggest that before you save any edit, you

  • Try "Show preview" to make sure it is going to look right
  • Try "Show changes" and make sure that you understand every change.

It really doesn't matter which order you do these in, but I find both of them very helpful. Occasionally I forget and then I have to go back and clean up after myself (sigh).

Another think that you might find helpful:

  • Try just editing one section at a time by using the "Edit" button on each section header.

Happy editing! YBG (talk) 07:47, 11 October 2016 (UTC)Reply

  Hello, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. I've noticed that you have been adding your signature to some of your edits to articles. This is a common mistake to make and has probably already been corrected. Please do not sign your edits to article content, as the article's edit history serves the function of attributing contributions, so you only need to use your signature to make discussions more readable, such as on article talk pages or project pages such as the Village Pump. If you would like further information about distinguishing types of pages, please see What is an article? Again, thank you for contributing, and enjoy your Wikipedia experience! Thank you.
