Dover Demon
Hi. I reverted one of your edits where you added what appears to be unsourced commentary to the Dover Demon article. Bear in mind, everything, especially opinion, has to be cited to a reliable source per WP:RS and (if a singular opinion) attributed per WP:ATTRIBUTEPOV, e.g. "John Smith wrote that _____" or “According to John Smith, _____“. I see you have selected this article for your course assignment and you planned on using "Decades later, the Dover Demon still haunts, By Mark Sullivan, Globe Correspondent, October 29, 2006" as your source. That source is fine, but you should know that our editorial policy WP:FRINGE prevents us from lending weight to the fringe idea that the Dover Demon could be a real monster, a cryptid, a demon, a mystery, etc. And some of the material in that Globe article, such as comments by Loren Coleman, advocate cryptozoology views, which are fringe, and which is why we avoid adding such things to the article. One other problem is that the Globe article is written tongue-in-cheek, with a lot of fluffy quotes from people, such as a local restaurant employee who says he hasn't seen the demon but maybe he'll show up one day to patronize the restaurant. Being a serious encyclopedia, Wikepedia doesn't give any weight to such WP:SENSATIONAL coverage. Sorry if I discouraged you, however you should probably familiarize yourself with our editorial policies before you proceed. Best regards and good luck with your course assignment. - LuckyLouie (talk) 20:12, 9 October 2020 (UTC)

Welcome!
Hi! I noticed that you’re working on the College Hockey East article as part of a college course and thought I’d connect you with a few WikiProjects that might be helpful.
 * WikiProject Ice Hockey is the principal project for the sport, which has a fairly large community and is generally focused on men's professional leagues, especially in North America
 * The College Hockey Task Force is a sub-group of WikiProject Ice Hockey interested in creating and improving articles related to college ice hockey, mostly men's NCAA DI but a few folks work on other leagues and divisions


 * If you happen to be interested in the women's game, a number of Women's Ice Hockey Task Force members are interested in college hockey and we'd be happy to help you find sources or answer questions

Best wishes for the class! – Spitzmauskc (talk) 04:48, 30 November 2020 (UTC)
