Tinley Park, Illinois
Hi Katelyn2121, I see you are a student editor so I wanted to explain why I deleted your edit at Tinley Park, Illinois. Part of the history section was an unsourced paragraph about the Natives who once occupied the area. These types of entries frequently appear on city/town articles and often get deleted because they basically say "this tribe used to live on this thousand mile strip of land, and this tiny town was located in that huge strip of land, therefore this tribe should be mentioned in this town's history". Because Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, general statements with little applicability to the specific article they are added to are of little use. What you did was correctly add a reliable source, to a piece of information with little relevance to Tinley Park. Cheers. Magnolia677 (talk) 00:16, 19 November 2019 (UTC)

Big Wild
Hi Katelyn2121, I noticed that you added to the Big Wild page and it looks like you are doing so as part of a school project. It's a good start! However, you may have noticed that I edited and removed some of your contributions. For example, I moved most of your additions from the opening paragraph to other parts of the article, such as the "career" section and a new "personal life" section. I also removed your descriptions of the albums/EPs - it's interesting information, but not really encyclopedic content (my suggestion: if you can find a critic who has reviewed the albums or singles, feel free to quote them in the article). That said, your additions were beneficial and I did keep many of them in the article. Feel free to discuss further on the article's talk page, and don't be discouraged to edit the article further! Let me know how I can help. Sk5893 (talk) 22:29, 4 December 2019 (UTC)
