Welcome!
editHello, Joeyw526, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Ian 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.

Feedback
editHI Joeyw526. Thanks for your addition to the Slack article. One thing though - sources are supposed to be independent of the subject of the article, so Slack's own website really isn't the best source for independent information. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 21:27, 16 March 2016 (UTC)
External links
editGenerally speaking, you shouldn't have external links in the body of the article - they should either be in the External links section, or they should be formatted as references. The problem stems from the links in the Conferences section. You could convert these to references, but I'm not sure if that section should be in the article at all; rather than listing individual conferences you might want to list conference hosts - groups that sponsor annual conferences or something like that. A list of individual conferences creates two problems - that it would need to be updated constantly as new conferences were held, and the criteria for inclusion isn't clear. Left alone, a list like that would turn into an advertisement for conferences, which is something that Wikipedia articles are not supposed to be.
So my advice is to trim the list down to major groups hosting conferences (rather than individual meetings) and use references instead of external links. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 18:04, 10 April 2016 (UTC)
