Welcome!
Hello, Brianforgione, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Adam 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. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me on my talk page. Adam (Wiki Ed) (talk) 14:32, 15 September 2016 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Lou Menchell has been reverted. Your edit here to Lou Menchell was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline. The external link(s) you added or changed (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kBRyvvnrapA) is/are on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. If the external link you inserted or changed was to a media file (e.g. a sound or video file) on an external server, then note that linking to such files may be subject to Wikipedia's copyright policy, as well as other parts of our external links guideline. If the information you linked to is indeed in violation of copyright, then such information should not be linked to. Please consider using our upload facility to upload a suitable media file, or consider linking to the original. If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! --XLinkBot (talk) 03:36, 4 October 2016 (UTC)

Article feedback
In regards to your article Media Education Foundation (MEF), but please make sure that your work in mainspace meets the basic requirements of a Wikipedia article. Please review the sections on article layout in the Editing Wikipedia brochure (pages 7-9) and the checklist on page 15. Also:


 * It appears that you've cut and pasted the article from Microsoft Word, but footnotes from Word will not work properly on Wikipedia. The training module Sources and Citations will help you with proper format for footnotes and citations.  It's best to move your article from word to your Sandbox to learn how to properly format your article.
 * It also appears that you've copied some material word for word from the original source material. Plagiarized material is not allowed on Wikipedia and your article will likely be deleted by an administrator.  Please review the Plagiarism training module regarding how to properly use your source material and avoid plagiarism.

Please let us know if you have any questions. Rob (Wiki Ed) (talk) 20:27, 23 December 2016 (UTC)
