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.

Primary sources[edit]

I'm wondering about this edit. You removed the legitimate primary sources (per ABOUTSELF) and left citation needed tags. What's up? Was there something else wrong with those sources? -- Valjean (talk) (PING me) 20:34, 10 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Valjean Hello! The reason for removal is that a few of the sources were dead links https://www.stvincent.edu/community-events/newsroom/2019/06/14/svc-announces-president but more so they from the collegiate website which is a primary source. To my understanding sources must be third-party independent Wikipedia:NOTRELIABLE Is this correct? MinetheGap (talk) 18:15, 27 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

There is some allowance for primary sources. Sometimes they are essential. See WP:ABOUTSELF. -- Valjean (talk) (PING me) 18:33, 27 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
