Welcome to the Wikipedia Education Program![edit]

Hi, Megan! Welcome to the Wikipedia Education Program!

Thanks for already making edits to an article! Hopefully you're finding it's not as hard to edit as it seems at first. :) I did see that you added a reference (which is perfect—you should always add a reference to any info you add to an article). However, Wikipedia works best when we use in-line citations, as it helps other readers verify the precise information within the article in its original source. I remember thinking it was really confusing to create citations when I first began editing, so I encourage you to do what I think is simplest and use the "Template" feature. When you're editing wiki-code (by selecting the 'Edit source' tab on the article), you'll see a toolbar at the top of your edit box. Click on the 'Cite' arrow, then the 'Templates' drop-down, and you can select whichever source/enter the available information. I hope you find that useful; I know I did!
