Tourtiere article
Hi, CristabellaW, I just 'welcomed' you above. I hope you'll find some of the links helpful--Wikipedia guidelines are kind of huge, but if you can get the hang of the five pillars, you'll be in good shape. In addition to welcoming you, I wanted to discuss the changes I've made to your edits on the Tourtiere article.

It's great that you're editing a Wikipedia article as part of a school project, and tourtiere is a really interesting subject. A critical component of papers for school as well as Wikipedia articles, is good references. There's a widespread folk belief that tourtiere is named for passenger pigeons, but many reliable sources refute this.

If you want to further expand the tourtiere article, this is a pretty good source:. If you have your heart set on adding the claim that tourtiere is named after passenger pigeons, my advice would be to start by finding a reliable source.

Good luck with your project, Cristabella. Maybe you'll get interested in editing or writing other Wikipedia articles too. Follow the instructions on the Welcome message above if you need any editing help. Richigi (talk) 17:34, 23 February 2013 (UTC)
