Welcome!

Hello, Allisonmb, 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.

University proxies on source links

Hi Allisonmb. Thanks for adding to Deccan Traps. I've edited your references a bit to remove the university proxy from the link to the source. The proxy link helps you or anyone else from the university of toronto access the article but can be confusing for someone who is just clicking on the link, so they should almost always be removed from the URL before you add a source. It's not a big deal but I figured you'd want to know why I made that change. Adam (Wiki Ed) (talk) 20:18, 27 January 2016 (UTC)
