Welcome!
Hello, Mpadilla123, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Adam and I work with the Wiki Education Foundation; 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. Adam (Wiki Ed) (talk) 22:13, 10 March 2016 (UTC)

Feedback requested
Hi, Mpadilla123. What can I help you with? Adam (Wiki Ed) (talk) 21:16, 5 April 2016 (UTC)

FYI, a discussion regarding your edits to an article
...is happening on my talk page. You can join in if you like, but please don't continue to revert 's changes to 100 Greatest African Americans. They've identified some problems with your edits and they're willing to explain how to fix them, but they can't do that if you keep adding the material. Remember that you are not graded on what you add to articles--your work is recorded in the page history even if another editor replaces or reverts the material you've added.

100 Greatest African Americans
Hi, Mpadilla123. I reverted the changes you made to 100 Greatest African Americans, because that article is about the book by Molefi Asante, not itself a list of those 100 people. If you want to add to that article (which does need improvement), try to find reliable sources which discuss the book itself. Here is a list of works which cite the book on google scholar, though that is by no means exhaustive. You can also find reviews written about the book and information on it from the publisher which would be appropriate to add here.

If you're hoping to add information to the articles on Hank Aaron, Michael Jordan or Martin Luther King, Jr., I'm afraid that will be pretty difficult, as those articles are among the most well developed on wikipedia, with hundreds of contributions and a considerable amount of content covered. If you need a hand pivoting to a different topic (though I think the book is a good topic!), let me know or let your professor know and they can get in contact with me. I hope this helps.
