Grinnell College

Please don't experiment like that. You put the wp:citation at the top of the article which is the wrong place for it. Use wp:Show preview to check your work. Please read how to edit Wikipedia. Thank you Jim1138 (talk) 04:00, 19 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Look at the results of your edit here. Notice the red text Cite error: A ^[1] (see the help page). at the top of the page? That is the problem. That is why you were warned for test/vandalism.

Another issue is that you added your reference to the wp:edit summary. That does not fulfill wp:verifiability (WP:V) The reference belongs in a wp:citation. I recommend a {{cite web}}. Jim1138 (talk) 21:31, 19 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
