Welcome! edit
Hello, Evan sandoval, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Adam 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.

Feedback edit
Hi Evan, your professor wanted me to give you some feedback.
From what I can see, the main thing to be cautious about is that you don't include original research in your content and that you don't write your content like an academic paper. Some of the main differences between a paper and an encyclopedia entry is that while you can draw your own conclusions in a paper, in an encyclopedia you can only include content that has been explicitly stated by a reliable source. For example, you shouldn't say that a particular type of media causes this or that type of effect unless it has been clearly stated somewhere. You also need to make sure that your claims are backed up with reliable sources and you should also try to be succinct while editing. Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 01:43, 24 April 2017 (UTC)
