Welcome!
Hello, Melody a01, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Ian 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.

Your contribution to Scientific management
Hi Melody a01. I've removed the Amazon example that you added to this article. The source provided doesn't say that Amazon was using Taylor's principles of scientific management in creating this process. You have put together what you know about scientific management and what you know about Amazon and drawn your own conclusion. While this sort of interpretation is encourages in papers you write for school, see your training materials here for why we don't do this on Wikipedia. Everything, including such conclusions, must have a reliable published source. StarryGrandma (talk) 21:28, 8 December 2022 (UTC)


 * You have added a very nice section on Taylor's principles of scientific management. Going forward rely less on quotations. I know it is common to use lots of quotes in school papers, but an encyclopedia article should instead concisely summarize in your own words. Anyway, what is needed for now is to add page numbers to the book references so that the sources are easily findable. (Journal articles don't need the specific page since they are much shorter and we just list the total page numbers for the article.) You can do this with Visual Editor using the template rp. The reference will end up looking like "[7]:45-47". It can be a little tricky to insert a template in Visual Editor, so if you have any problems you can ask me to do it for you.
