Welcome!

Hello, Bcm1776, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Brianda and I work with Wiki Education; 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.

Bicentennial edits

Hello, and thank you for the South Bend painted fire hydrants mention. I summarized it and placed it under "Other". The concern was placement (you placed it above New York, Boston, Philadelphia, etc., which have major historical American Revolution heritage and held large Bicentennial celebrations), length (see WP:WEIGHT, way too long for its impact on the topic - it was about fire hydrants) and using editorial and flowery language on Wikipedia (see MOS:EDITORIAL and MOS:FLOWERY). Please be aware that wording of facts and statements on Wikipedia using Wikipedia's voice should be encyclopedic in nature. Thanks. Randy Kryn (talk) 14:37, 23 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Edit summaries

Hi, this is Joyous!. I wanted to stop by and say THANK YOU for consistently using edit summaries every time you've edited an article. That helps so much! Joyous! Noise! 18:03, 25 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
