Welcome!

Hello, WordBender22, 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.

You can find answers to many student questions on our Q&A site, ask.wikiedu.org

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me on my talk page. Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 19:09, 6 September 2017 (UTC)

Non-free image use

Hi! I was recently notified that you used non-free images on your userpage. I just wanted to let you know that these images cannot be used on your userpage, as this would violate the fair use guidelines. What fair use means is that Wikipedia can use a copyrighted image as long as it meets certain criteria, which can be very generally summed up as this: No non-copyrighted version of the image exists, it will only be used to identify a particular topic (ie, a logo for a TV series used to identify that series), and that the image expands on the topic in a way that words alone wouldn't be able to do. One of the specific rules for using non-free images is that it can only be used on the specific article for which they were uploaded, as anything else would violate fair use.

It's an easy mistake, but just be careful about this in the future. Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 13:46, 11 September 2017 (UTC)

Annotated bibliographies

Hi! I just wanted to congratulate you on your beautifully written annotated bibliographies in your sandbox. I know that they're not going to be used in the article per se (ie, you'll use the sources but not the annotated bibliography), but they really do look great! Well done!
