Hey Haley, I'm glad I got to meet you this semester.

Welcome!
Hello, Hkoening12, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages you might find helpful: I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you need help, please see our help pages, and if you can't find what you are looking for there, please feel free to leave me a message or place  on this page and someone will drop by to help. I work with the Wiki Education Foundation, and help support students who are editing as part of a class assignment. If there's anything I can do to help with your assignment (or, for that matter, any other aspect of Wikipedia) please feel free to drop me a note. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 18:47, 9 February 2015 (UTC)

Infomania
Hi Hkoening12. Thanks for your additions to the infomania article. While adding information to that article is helpful, please be careful where you add information. You added a section at the end of the article, after the references and external links sections. You should always do your best to integrate new information into the article, and to make sure that your additions are consistent with Wikipedia's Manual of Style.

I'm also concerned about the source you used. Wikispaces is a web hosting platform - there's no editorial control on content, no peer-review to ensure that content is reliable. Wikipedia articles should be based on high-quality peer reviewed sources - things like journal review articles and textbooks, not ads. Always make sure that the source you're using is reliable (see Identifying reliable sources); generally you should seek to use the highest quality source you can find.

Feedback on progress
Haley, Ian and SandyGeorgia have some very useful feedback (posted and linked above). Continue to post your ideas on the Infomania talk page, especially regarding sources. Since this topic is so new, and sort of trendy, we'll have to especially watch out for popular press sources that aren't based on academic research. ScottPKingPhD (talk) 18:31, 19 February 2015 (UTC)
