Welcome![edit]

Hello, Madtownsend, 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.

New Girl[edit]

Hi, thanks for your contributions to the project. Your recent edit to New Girl created multiple cite errors, as seen here. That article uses list-defined references, which means they are defined within the reference section, and then invoked in the page content by just using the reference name, instead of the whole citation. When you remove a list-defined reference from the body of the article, then you must also go to the reference section and either remove that reference or comment it out. For example, you can see here how I commented out an unused list-defined reference in another article, by using this markup, . For further information, you can also review the help page. Thanks.

Notability[edit]

I notice you are deleting article content saying it is not notable. In Wikipedia, notability is used to decide if a topic merits a separate article. It is not a criteria for content in an article, which has to be relevant to the topic and cited. Notability is not whether you find a piece of information interesting/important or not, presumably the person who added it thought it interesting/important. If content is relevant and cited, you generally should not be deleting it unless it violates some other policy. . Kerry (talk) 09:48, 19 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
