Welcome

Hello, Mayakearns, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Shalor 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.

Feedback

Hi Maya! I looked over your work and by large it's very good - my main caution to you would be to be careful of tone, as at times your work takes on a fairly favorable tone and occasionally you'll have something that was written in a fairly casual tone, such as the use of the word "us". Us is sort of a personal word, so I replaced it with something a bit more formal. I wouldn't lose a ton of sleep over this, but it's something that if you wanted to tweak further (I did a little tweaking) you could. Good work overall, though!
