Hello, Mmcla3, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Shalor 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.

Hello. Your addition of Barton was useful - she's an excellent source for inquiries into the broader, underlying ethos of the Games. However, at 37 pages, Barton's is a fairly lengthy work; for verification purposes we should offer specific page numbers that deal with the matter in hand. I've made the necessary changes. I'm sorry to remove your other addition (to the modern or popular culture section in the same article) but "mere mentions" and examples are probably not enough, even if they seem self-evidently relevant or self-sourcing. Please read this RfC. Thanks for reading this, and good luck with your coursework! Haploidavey (talk) 13:11, 7 December 2017 (UTC)
