Some points on editing Paraguayan harp
Greetings, your enthusiasm at helping at Paraguayan harp is appreciated, but I suggest you feel things out slowly at first, as you made several technical mistakes that needed correcting. When you added your block of text, you broke up a citation in the References section, rendering it unreadable. Also, you started out sections by just typing "History", while note that to form a section heading you simply type ==History== like so to get the nice title and line. These are some of the basics of editing to learn, so I'd encourage you to read the Tutorial to learn some of the ropes.

A second and big issue: you added a lot of interesting text, but you've provided no WP:Sourcing at all. Per the principle of WP:Verifiability, information on Wikipedia should be sourced to a reputable publication. This helps readers a lot, because they can fact-check by going directly to a source, where they can also learn more information than would fit in the article. Without any sourcing, they just have to "take your word for it." One popular way to source facts is using books.google.com to find published scholarly works to cite. Note too that you can use reftag.appspot.com to automatically format templated footnotes from GoogleBooks URLs, which saves a lot of time.

Thanks for your work on the article, and note how my quick cleanup helped it lay out and flow better visually on the page. Please do check out the tutorial, and feel free to drop me a line if you have any questions. MatthewVanitas (talk) 02:56, 22 April 2012 (UTC)
