Shannon Bool
Hello and welcome. Just a note that I reverted much of what you added to the Shannon Bool article as it had two problems. The first is that it was undersourced. We do not add paragraphs of text without good sourcing. The second is that much of it was original research. All we do on Wikipedia is repeat what others have said; we do not write original interpretations of any subject's work. Assuming you are not connected to the subject in any way, feel free to add material that is properly sourced and is not original research or interpretation. Avoid anything that spaks of the artist's work in flowery terms, as we do not allow articles to be promotional, per WP:NOTPROMOTION. Thanks.ThatMontrealIP (talk) 06:03, 23 April 2020 (UTC)

Hello, ThatMontrealIP

Thank you for your messages, and for the updates you added to the page I was editing. Your advice on where to find information on editing Wikipedia, and answers to questions, was very helpful. I will certainly consult the reference material you mentioned and keep the guidelines you described in mind for any future editing I undertake. The additional material and corrections you added greatly improved the entry, and provided a good example for me on how to handle citations.

Today, I added two very minor changes to the page, and have now completed the work I intended to do. Thanks again for your help, it was much appreciated.
