Welcome!

Hello, Gabriella A Russo, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Elysia 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.

answering question

Hi, I saw your question on my talk page. I've made some formatting changes on your sandbox page so that the style is more similar to a standard Wikipedia page. As for the image, English Wikipedia and the Wikimedia Commons have no record of any file or image with that name. Regarding your references, they are not properly formatted. You should cite the article as stated in our training here. With the automatic citation generator in visual editor, you can cite scientific journals very easily with the DOI of the article in question. So if you wanted to cite this publication, for example, you would just copy-paste in the doi, which always starts with "10.". In this case, the DOI is 10.1071/MF03069. Once you've cited a paper once, you can use the "reuse" option to choose that citation again instead of entering it in brand new. That will condense your references section.

So review that training and it should help a lot. Elysia (Wiki Ed) (talk) 16:00, 10 April 2019 (UTC)

note on page moves

Hi Gabriella A Russo please don't use the page move feature for this assignment because you are editing an existing article. Please review this slide of our training "moving your work out of the sandbox". The page move is not a viable option for editing existing articles.
