Thank you for contributing to the Beachy Head article!
Hello Asangwine, welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for contributing to the Beachy Head (poem) article! Adding details to relevant articles as you learn about them is an excellent way to get involved in editing Wikipedia, and I appreciate that you added a new source. I edited your contribution in a few ways to make it more "encyclopedic style" and less "essay style" -- changing the citations to a footnotes style (in this case shortened footnotes) and adding wikilinks to other articles. Wikipedia encourages bold editing so I am glad you jumped right in! You don't have to make edits that are perfect or mindblowing, as long as they incrementally improve the encyclopedia -- which you already did.

I also made some changes based on my own interpretation of how to organize the article. I made your addition more concise and focused on Beachy Head specifically, and moved it to the "context" section where it seems to me to better join in with material already present in the article right now. That was my own "bold" edit, but if I missed the point of what you were trying to contribute, feel free to boldly keep moving it around and changing it. I'll probably make edits after you do, but I don't own the article -- it's just exciting to see activity on a page, so seeing your changes will get me thinking about what I might want to add next.

You might also be interested in contributing to articles like Women in the French Revolution (add a section on English writers?) or Romanticism and the French Revolution (add a section for Charlotte Smith?). If you want a challenge, French Revolution and the English Gothic Novel could really use some love! Or you can just contribute a little bit at a time whenever the fancy strikes or you read something interesting. If you have questions about anything as you edit, the Teahouse is a question forum for new editors that might be helpful to you, or please feel free to leave a message at my talk page (by adding a new section) and I would be happy to help! ~ oulfis 🌸 (talk) 19:59, 10 March 2020 (UTC)
