Welcome!

Hello again Zabdulah! Thanks for attending our Lost Poets of Scotland Editathon. Now that you've learned the basics, I do encourage you to stay logged in, and have another go at editing. Why not try a small edit or two first, add a link, or maybe a picture? Once you've made 10 small edits in mainspace, and your account is 4 days old, you'll be able to create new articles - search for the name of the article, and click the create link.

Welcome! Now have some cake...

Jane Yolen

Hi. A belated Welcome to Wikipedia! I know you haven't edited in a while, but in the event that you get this message, I wanted thank you for working to improve the site with your edits to Jane Yolen, as we really appreciate your participation. However, the edits had to be reverted, because Wikipedia cannot accept uncited material. Wikipedia requires that the material in its articles be accompanied by reliable, verifiable (usually secondary) sources explicitly cited in the article text in the form of an inline citation, which you can learn to make here. If you ever have any other questions about editing, or need help regarding the site's policies, just let me know by leaving a message for me in a new section at the bottom of my talk page. Thanks. 18:59, 16 May 2019 (UTC)
