Welcome!

Hello, LINDSEYRUN123, 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.

Hello

Hello Lobo! Thanks for your improvement to Acequia. However, the link you provided was a UNM proxy-server link to the GALE database. These links require one to be logged into the UNM library website in order to view the page. When you provide a URL for a source, be sure to provide the actual URL for the source. A Guardian article should be linked to theguardian.com, not elsewhere. For academic journal articles, it's best just to provide the doi, rather than a link. Anyway, not to worry, I fixed it. Thanks for your additions and I hope you stick around. Skyerise (talk) 13:48, 16 February 2023 (UTC)

Again, you are not providing proper citations. Click on the link in this citation you added:

• Romero, Dr Eric (2021). "Southwestern Acequia Systems and Communities; Nurturing a Culture of Place". Natural Resource Journal: 169–172 – via HeinOnline.

Does it go to the article? NO IT DOESN'T. You have to find the correct link for the actual article. Linking to the main page of a UNM database IS NOT SUFFICIENT. A simple web search shows that this is the direct link to the article. You also neglect to include the journal volume, and we do NOT preface names with "Dr." The correct citation should look like this:

• Romero, Eric (2021). "Southwestern Acequia Systems and Communities; Nurturing a Culture of Place". Natural Resource Journal. 6: 169–172.

I tell you this because most editors will not fix your mistakes, they will just revert your edit. Please TEST your links before you add them to the article and make sure they go to direct to the article or the abstract of the article. Skyerise (talk) 12:56, 14 March 2023 (UTC)
