Tips 
 * Don't be afraid to edit! Just find something that can be improved and make it better. Other editors will help fix any mistakes you make.
 * It's normal to feel a little overwhelmed, but don't worry if you don't understand everything at first—it's fine to edit using common sense.
 * If an edit you make is reverted, you can discuss the issue at the article's talk page. Be civil, and don't restore the edit unless there is consensus.
 * Always use edit summaries to explain your changes.
 * When adding new content to an article, always include a citation to a reliable source.
 * If you wish to edit about a subject with which you are affiliated, read our conflict of interest guide and disclose your connection.
 * Have fun! Your presence in the Wikipedia community is welcome.

Happy editing! Cheers, – Anon423 (talk) 05:35, 9 December 2022 (UTC)


 * Hi there. I noticed your work at Nina Gualinga, and appreciate your interest, but notice that some of the citation formatting is a bit broken. (Thank you for including citations! Many new contributors don't, even though it's an important principle of Wikipedia, and I often have to explain.) You may be interested in Help:Footnotes or the features of WP:VisualEditor. If you have any questions, feel free to reply here or at the Teahouse. – Anon423 (talk) 05:44, 9 December 2022 (UTC)
 * As an update, I'm happy that you figured out how to fix the citations. I mean you no insult, but I did follow up with a few cleanup actions. I thought I'd explain what I did:
 * I added a few more citations to Her father is Anders Sirén, a Swedish-speaking Finnish[6][7] professor of biology[5] in the department of geography and geology at the University of Turku.[8] We try to maintain what's called text-source integrity, which is to say that every piece of content (even just a part of a sentence) should be followed by a citation that clearly indicates the source of that material. Yes, Wikipedia doesn't perfectly follow this everywhere, but I try to uphold this ideal wherever I can.
 * Citations generally go after punctuation marks if they come at the end of a sentence or clause. This formatting rule is outlined at MOS:REFPUNCT.
 * An earlier anonymous editor added an external link to the IMDB page of Corina Montalvo in the body of the article; this is usually avoided (see WP:ELPOINTS); among other reasons, this keeps things from getting too spammy. Unfortunately, the linked page doesn't mention that Corina Montalvo is Nina's grandmother, and another source mentions grandma's name as Cristina Gualinga, so I replaced Corina with Cristina as the mentioned grandmother. If a source can be found that mentions Corina as Nina's grandmother, we can put her in.
 * Again, thanks for your work! It takes some time to get used to all the guidelines here, so I thought I'd just explain a few of them.
