Hello, I'm Avono. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Robert Herrick (poet), but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.

Welcome!
Hello, Karennashley, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of your edits have not conformed to Wikipedia's verifiability policy, and may be removed if they have not yet been. Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations that have been stated in print or on reputable websites or other forms of media. Always remember to provide a reliable source for quotations and for any material that is likely to be challenged, or it may be removed. Wikipedia also has a related policy against including original research in articles. Additionally, all new biographies of living people must contain at least one reliable source.

Excessive External links?
A large number of external links have just been added to the Robert Herrick article, with no sort of explanation. Wikipedia is not a catalogue; if everything written about Herrick were to be listed here, it would make for an exceptionally long page. It would be better to use the material - with page references - in the article, rather than to create some arbitrary selection of materials that might possibly be useful for such a purpose. I'd suggest you pick a small aspect of the article and add some clear, definite facts with exact page references to one or two sources to get started on a solid footing with editing.
