Welcome!
Hello, MathDementor, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Brianda and I work with Wiki Education; I help support students who are editing as part of a class assignment.

I hope you enjoy editing here. If you haven't already done so, please check out the student training library, which introduces you to editing and Wikipedia's core principles. You may also want to check out the Teahouse, a community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to helping new users. Below are some resources to help you get started editing. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me on my talk page. Brianda (Wiki Ed) (talk) 19:02, 4 October 2023 (UTC)


 * Thank you! And, thank you for your recommendations tonight during class.
 * Dr. Grady shared her press kit with me which has some photos. Am I permitted to use those? MathDementor (talk) 03:10, 2 November 2023 (UTC)

Siobahn Day Grady feedback
Hi @MathDementor, I checked out your outline and so far seems like you are on track. Keep in mind, your writing for Wikipedia will summarize what independent, reliable, secondary sources have said about a topic, so that a Wikipedia reader can get an overview of the current thoughts and understanding of that topic. The goal is to provide a neutral, fact based summary of the topic at hand based off the reliable sources you've found on Siobahn Day Grady. I didn't see many sources listed on the sandbox, so below are a few that I found after a quick search. You can check out this training module for a quick refresher on what's considered a reliable source. Also check out the article Marsha Rhea Williams as a good example to follow when structuring your article, and for a clear, neutral writing style. Feel free to reach out with any questions, just remember to ping me. Looping in @9Starbucks. Brianda (Wiki Ed) (talk) 15:52, 28 October 2023 (UTC)

 * Thanks. I am still learning where things are here.
 * Gotcha about the sources. I'll go back and make some adjustments. Is it okay to include links to websites referenced?
 * I think I need some help understanding what images I can use. The pictures I uploaded are from Dr. Grady. I know she didn't take them and I know I didn't take them.
 * How do I insert a box like the one on Marsha's page?
 * Thanks! MathDementor (talk) 21:01, 10 November 2023 (UTC)
