Welcome!

Hello, Captainq25, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Ian and I work with Wiki Education; 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, I'm Magnolia677. An edit that you recently made to McMinnville, Oregon seemed to be a test and has been reverted. If you want to practice editing, please use your sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. I attempted to fix your edit, then decided to boldly revert, as it resembled a test edit. Please test the edit first in your sandbox and: remove the promotional content, trim the number of sources, stick to places inside the city, and remove the overlinking.

Hey @Magnolia677! Thanks for all that you do! I appreciate the tips.

Regarding business names - I just felt that this article lacked relevant industry in McMinnville, which is an economically significant exurb in the statistical Portland Metro which relies primarily on a small amount of manufacturing (which is why I included an internationally recognized manufacturer) and tourism (a combination of agritourism, wine, and festivals). In order to mention all the festivals the businesses associated with them seemed relevant, especially since most of them were already mentioned in the article. Note that part of my edit actually removed a no longer existent festival.

Everything I added was within the city, so I'm not entirely sure what you mean by "stick to places inside the city"?

Understood on the overlinking! Whoops, I thought linking as many things as possible was encouraged for some reason. Will do.

Any feedback is greatly appreciated. Thanks! Captainq25 (talk) 23:36, 31 May 2024 (UTC)
