Hello, MattBarnes22 and welcome to Wikipedia! It appears you are participating in a class project. If you haven't done so already, we encourage you to go through our training for students. Go through our online training for students

If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place {{Help me}} before the question. Please also read this helpful advice for students.

Before you create an article, make sure you understand what kind of articles are accepted here. Remember: Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and while many topics are encyclopedic, some things are not.

Your instructor or professor may wish to set up a course page, and if your class doesn't already have one please tell your instructor about that. It is highly recommended that you place this text: {{Educational assignment}} on the talk page of any articles you are working on as part of your Wikipedia-related course assignment. This will let other editors know this article is a subject of an educational assignment and aid your communication with them.

We hope you like it here and encourage you to stay even after your assignment is finished! Doug Weller talk 09:00, 6 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

You need to learn to cite properly

[edit]

Sources must be WP:VERIFIABLE and I'm afraid that you're just leaving links to the university's login page, so no one knows what they are. See Help:Referencing for beginners and specifically the bit on using the toolbar. It's easy. Please go back and fix your current ones and restore the edit I deleted with proper citations. Thanks, and thanks for the work you've done. The edit I reverted is still in the history, just click the history tab at the top of the page to see it. Doug Weller talk 09:00, 6 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
