Better Out Than In
editHey! Thanks for the updates to Better Out Than In. I understand you are working on this as a part of a school project, very cool that they have you contributing to Wikipedia!
A few things about your changes: Filling in the gaps of the missing days was a good idea, and I think your prose is very well-written, including a lot of interesting facts. However, much of the additions may be lacking verifiability, which we strive for. Better Out Than In is considered a good article, meaning it was evaluated by experienced editors and established it as among the best the encyclopedia has to offer. THe good article criteria requires verifiability, so if we are lacking it, we could compromise the good article status.
As such, if you don't mind, let's try to add some inline citations for some of these sentences and paragraphs. You don't need a citation for every sentence, but whatever has been said needs to be verifiable by one of the provided sources. This is easiest done by putting a citation next to the sentence(s) it supports. So given Sentence one. Sentence two. Sentence three
, if all three sentences can be supported by the same source, you can put the inline citation at the end.
I am happy to help you with this, but I thought since this was part of a school project, that I could allow you to take on the task yourself. Feel free to review our introduction to referencing, and again if you need any help don't hesitate to ask! — MusikAnimal talk 17:05, 26 July 2015 (UTC)
