Welcome!

Hello, Sami.monroe, 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.

Welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions, but in one of your recent edits to Instinctive drowning response, it appears that you have added original research, which is against Wikipedia's policies. Original research refers to material—such as facts, allegations, ideas, and personal experiences—for which no reliable, published sources exist; it also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources. Thank you. Materialscientist (talk) 22:21, 14 December 2022 (UTC)

The content was copied verbatim from your source, so it had to be deleted for copyright reasons. Remember that you need to rewrite things entirely in your own words. Also remember that Wikipedia articles are supposed to summarise what reliable sources say about a topic, and should not give readers advice. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 22:36, 14 December 2022 (UTC)
