Hello, Grosenblatt0805, 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.

I know you really want to add this information into the article. However, you need to rewrite it in your own words. You can't just copy and paste, or move a few sentence fragments around and swap in some synonyms. That's called close paraphrasing, and it's a form of copyright violation. It's also considered plagiarism in most academic institutions. You're almost at the end of the semester- don't mess it up now! GreenLipstickLesbian (talk) 02:45, 1 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
