Welcome!
Hello, Mackenzieburchett, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions, especially your edits to Wikipedia:Wiki Ed/Kent State University/Political Economy (Fall). I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some tips that you might find helpful:
 * Link to other articles with double square brackets
 * Here are some articles where you can practice adding links to other articles. When you've got at least two blue links in the article you can remove the code from the top of the page.
 * Add pictures from Wikimedia Commons using thumb for thumbnail|Left, right or center so it knows where to go|a meaningful caption|alt=a description for blind people
 * Example [[Image:Chocolate chip cookies.jpg|thumb|right|Wiki biscuits are guaranteed zero calories! ]]
 * Click here for an exercise in adding images to articles.
 * Now you know how to add pictures to Wikipedia, why not add your own? This shows you articles that are near you. Is there one without a picture or where you could take a better one? In many countries modern buildings are still copyrighted, but not in the UK and some other places. This is the upload page on Wikimedia Commons.
 * Add headings with ==double equal signs==
 * If an article has sections two editors can edit different sections simultaneously without edit conflicts. Four or more sections and you get a table of contents.
 * Here are articles where you can practice adding sections when you've finished splitting an article into sections you can delete from the top of the page.
 * ===subheadings are similar===
 * When you add information to Wikipedia please summarize things in your own words, and tell us where you got the information from in the following format
 * If you find unreferenced information on Wikipedia that you consider dubious or unlikely, first try to reference it yourself. If you know it is wrong, correct it, if you can't find a source then adds the famous [citation needed] . If, after a week no-one has referenced the information, feel free to remove it.
 * Double single quotes gives you Italic and triple quotes Bold.

Many Wikipedians organise themselves by subject area, we have hundreds of WikiProjects ranging from Arts to Zoology, and I'm sure there will be ones that fit your interests. A good place to look for them is Category:WikiProjects by topic, alternatively the talkpages of articles you are interested in may have links to relevant Wikiprojects.

YouTube as source
Hi! I wanted to give you some feedback about your addition to the Audrey Hepburn article. Be very, very careful about using YouTube as a source for multiple reasons. The first is that we can't guarantee that the uploader owns the copyright to the respective media in the video, even if it seems like the content would likely fit within fair use or would be in the public domain. (Stuff released in the 50s is kind of iffy because copyright laws do give companies/owners the right to renew copyrights on even the smallest footage.) The second is that we can't guarantee that the material or claims in the footage is accurate. While there are sources that claim that Hepburn danced to raise money, it's still possible that they may get exact dates wrong (ie, when the footage was shot).

All that said, good job on finding this bit of information - it's surprising that it wasn't already in the article! Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 22:11, 20 September 2017 (UTC)
