Hello, Sydneycrain22, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Elysia 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.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me on my talk page. Elysia (Wiki Ed) (talk) 16:31, 1 October 2019 (UTC)Reply


A note about sandboxes

edit

Hi Sydneycrain22, I wanted to let you know that you should be using your sandbox (linked from the top toolbar and also from your userpage, User:Sydneycrain22/sandbox) to draft articles. Right now, you have started a draft on your user page, which is used to tell other users about yourself if you'd wish.

Also, based on what you have so far, I wanted to remind you that Wikipedia articles are not essays. There should be no opinion or editorializing on what you add to the site, but rather adding content that is cited with reliable sources. When you say "African American Women during the Industrialization is not talked about as much as it should be when it comes to the role that they play in history." without any citations, it makes it sound like it is your opinion. As a reminder, here is the training for how to add citations. Thanks, Elysia (Wiki Ed) (talk) 17:07, 5 November 2019 (UTC)Reply
