Welcome!
Hello, Abrow110, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Ian 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. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me on my talk page. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 19:33, 28 September 2020 (UTC)

Natural selection
Hi. I noticed that you had made edits to the natural selection article. I wanted to let you know that this article is a Good Article, which means that it is among Wikipedia's best work. While there might be room to make a few small improvements to Good Articles, they are going to be more complete, overall, and harder to work on as your first major contribution to Wikipedia.

Specifically, I noticed that your additions were unsourced. Keep in mind that everything you add to Wikipedia needs to be tied directly to a reliable source. After the statement, there should be a source. You can use a single source to support several sentences in a row, if it supports everything you say in those sentences, but you need to have at least one source per paragraph, and you shouldn't have any text after the final reference in a paragraph.

It's critically important that the content you add to Wikipedia articles is accurate. The information you added about Darwin's finches just isn't correct. While Darwin collected the finches, he didn't pay a whole lot of attention to their ecology. The observations you attribute to him aren't his; they're probably Peter and Rosemary Grant's. In addition, you can't say something like Due to his theory on natural selection, he made the discovery that different finches could only survive in the different environments... because that gets the causality all wrong. The finches helped him discover natural selection; when he was collecting finches in the Galapagos he hadn't come up with the idea of natural selection.
