Your recent edits
Hi there and welcome to Wikipedia! I see that you're new here, so I wanted to point you in the right direction regarding several of your recent edits including those on Kent, Connecticut, Schaghticoke (tribe), and the article you created, Trudie Lamb-Richmond.

References: When writing articles, all material should be sourced by external references to ensure verifiability. Checking out this guideline on citing sources will be helpful. For example, I added a tag on the Schaghticoke (tribe) article stating that the family info needed a reference - [[your edit]] removing that tag and writing "according to tribal genealogists" doesn't really satisfy that unless it is supported by a specific citation. This can be easy to remedy - simply cite a reliable source as a reference for the information you add.

Biographies of living people: Writing biographies of living people can be a bit tough -  here is the link to guidelines on how to do so.  Basically, all material must be independently verifiable and referenced by independent, third-party sources, must be written in a  neutral point of view, and it must satisfy  notability guidelines.  The number of Google hits (often shortened to "ghits") generally does not confer notability on any article subjects - the independent coverage of the subject in multiple third party sources does.  Again, this can be remedied by sourcing what are considered reliable sources (major media outlets, peer-reviewed and scholarly articles, etc.).  If there are no independent, reliable sources listed, articles may be nominated for deletion.  Also, it's best to avoid  potential conflicts of interest in editing articles in which you have a direct connection to the subject matter.

Categories: I'd recommend checking out the guideline on placing articles in categories. Your edit placing Kent, Connecticut in the Native American categories is incorrect - although there is mention of a Native American tribe/person in the article, the article is not about Native Americans. Again, check out the categorization guidelines for more specific information on that.

Hope that helps and happy editing!

Unreferenced BLPs
Hello SchaghticokeNDN! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 1 of the articles that you created  is tagged as an Unreferenced Biography of a Living Person. Please note that all biographies of living persons must be sourced. If you were to add reliable, secondary sources to this article, it would greatly help us with the current Category:All_unreferenced_BLPs article backlog. Once the article is adequately referenced, please remove the unreferencedBLP tag. Here is the article:
