Welcome!
Hello, HBGinsberg, 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) 17:51, 15 September 2016 (UTC)

Feedback request
Nice start on your article draft, but you still have a way to go. I would strong recommend taking a careful look at the Editing Wikipedia brochure, especially pages 7-9, which discuss layout. You should have received a hard copy from your instructor, but just in case, I have linked to it above. You should also take a look at the Editing Biographies handout (linked above) which should give you some sense of the usual sections in a biography article.

Article feedback
Excellent work on your article Stockton Helffrich. Other editors have added banners to the article to raise potential problems, so I wanted to bring this to your attention.


 * Your article is an "orphan", meaning that no or few articles have wikilinks to your article. Consider adding wikilinks to your article in other articles, where appropriate.  This can be difficult with articles on more obscure topics.  The Find Link tool can often be of assistance in this.
 * Another editor has indicated that "This article needs additional citations for verification". Your article is mostly reliant on a single source.  While that is an outstanding source that you've used, it is generally a good idea to find a diversity of sources for an article.  Your professor or campus library can assist you with locating appropriate sources.

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