Welcome, and a question about sources
Hello TheNorthWall, welcome to Wikipedia! Below this I'll leave a template welcome message with a lot of useful links. I saw your edits to The North Wall, and I was wondering what source you have for the number of names. I tried searching, and all I found was this two-year-old article which says that there are 134 names, but the number keeps increasing. Ideally, all statements on Wikipedia should have a reliable source to support them so the content of the article can be verified. The article on The North Wall is unfortunately a bit lacking in sources right now, so any you have for things like the number of names would be helpful. Thanks, and I hope you enjoy editing!

Answer to your Question
Hello, Howicus. We are the North Wall Riders Association, along with the Canadian Vietnam Veterans Association are the caretakers of The North Wall. Names of Veterans are added as they are found. When a name is submitted we review and authenticate the name. If the name is found to be valid then it is added and read aloud on the annual memorial service. This is why the number increases from its original 103 on the monument. I hope this clears up your question, until now none of the members know how to correct the error.

Welcome to Wikipedia!
Hello, TheNorthWall. Welcome to Wikipedia! Thanks for your contributions. My name is Howicus, and I've been an editor here for some time. Here are a few links to pages you might find helpful: If you're working on creating a new article, you should take a look at this page on your first article, and use the article wizard here to get started. Also, this page has instructions on how to cite sources, complete with videos.
 * Introduction and Getting started
 * Contributing to Wikipedia
 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * How to edit a page and How to develop articles
 * How to create your first article
 * Simplified Manual of Style

If all this Wikicode is a little overwhelming, this cheatsheet may help untangle it.

If you're looking for a tutorial of sorts, The Wikipedia Adventure is a good option.

And if you need more help, I'd recommend asking at the Teahouse (a help page for new users). Or, you could try getting live help at the Wikipedia help chat channel: click here to join. Additionally, you could ask me on my talk page, or and a volunteer will visit you here shortly

 * Ah, I see. Do you have the number posted on a website perhaps? Something that can be cited directly, so it's easier to verify the number of names? Also, please take a look at our policy regarding shared accounts; I'm afraid they're not allowed. Each individual volunteer who wants to edit should make a personal account instead. If there is only one person who has access to this account, you should request a change of username to make that clear. Howicus (Did I mess up?) 02:46, 28 April 2018 (UTC)
