Hello, MaxBaker1123, 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.

Corset

Hello MaxBaker1123,

When you add new content to an article, as you recently did at Corset, please add an in-line citation referencing a reliable source in order to ensure verifiability of the content you added. Verifiability is one of Wikipedia's core principles. Thanks, Mathglot (talk) 06:39, 1 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! I wanted to drop a note reinforcing this. All content should be backed up with a reliable source that explicitly states the claims made. The best sourcing will be academic or scholarly sources, like a journal article. Avoid things like self-published websites, as you would need to show that the site is routinely cited as a reliable source by other reliable sources and/or that it undergoes the type of editorial oversight needed to be seen as a reliable source.
