Article selection

Hi. I noticed that you assigned yourself the snow article to improve as part of your assignment. I wanted to let you know that this article is a Good Article, which means that it is among Wikipedia's best work. While there might be room to make a few small improvements to Good Articles, they are going to be more complete, overall, and harder to work on as your first major contribution to Wikipedia. For that reason, I recommend that you pick a different articles to work on - one that have scope for improvement. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 21:27, 6 November 2020 (UTC)
