editHello, Jennifer.cornejomarquez, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Shalor 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.

Tone of articles
editHallo Jennifer and welcome to Wikipedia. I see that you have edited Kayla Barron. Please note that words like "Kayla Barron was just a regular girl with a big dream.
" are not appropriate for an international encyclopedia. This article currently reads like something from a gossip magazine. I see that you are editing as part of a student project, so I'm not going to spend a lot of time cleaning it up (though I've fixed a few things already). Please revisit the article and trim it to hard facts. Thanks. (@Shalor (Wiki Ed): for info) PamD 07:22, 10 May 2018 (UTC)
References
editThree of the references you added to Kayla Barron appear as "Howard Community College Library Off-Campus Access. web-a-ebscohost-com.libproxy.howardcc.edu.", which is useless to any reader not part of your college. It is quite OK to use a reference which you access through a college library system, even if the rest of us can't access it online by that route, but you need to give a proper reference - author, title, journal title, volume, date, pages; or author, book title, page number, publisher, date, isbn; or equivalent info. That way the rest of us can see where you found the information, and can track it down for ourselves through our own libraries etc. Your instructor should have taught you how to do references before sending you out to edit the encyclopedia, or you should have taken a little more time to read and learn about it yourself. This is an encyclopedia, not a school lab, so it's important to get things as right as possible. Thanks. PamD 07:27, 10 May 2018 (UTC)
