Welcome![edit]

Hello, CrazyGPLady, 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.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me on my talk page. Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 17:42, 16 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Sandbox content[edit]

Hi! I noticed that you moved your sandbox notes live - make sure to be careful not to do this. I do have a quick note about the draft in your notes.

You've used some sourcing that isn't considered to be a reliable source on Wikipedia. You can't use Wikipedia as a source, not even for itself, as anyone can edit Wikipedia and as such, it's not considered to be a reliable source. IMDb is similar, as anyone can contribute to the site, making it unreliable as a source on Wikipedia. It's surprisingly easy to insert fake information on IMDb - I saw one person actually add herself to the Captain America: Winter Soldier IMDb page (prior to the film's release), claiming that she was going to be playing She-Hulk.

Hope this helps! Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 14:26, 9 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
