Welcome![edit]
Hello, Rcadieux22, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Shalor 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.

Notes[edit]
Hi! What you have looks like a good start - my main notes are this: make sure that everything that you have is backed up by a reliable source, as some of the content looks like it's still lacking sourcing. I know that some of this is content that was already in the article, but it's always good to find sourcing for this content -it's definitely something that's incredibly useful and helpful for the article as a whole. Finding sourcing is probably one of the most underappreciated ways to contribute to Wikipedia, to be honest. Also, when removing content always make sure that there's a reason for this, such as the information being out of date or not having enough sourcing. The reason I specify this is that it's sometimes easier to build upon existing content than to completely re-write it, so to speak. I'm really only looking at the history sections with this last part, though. It doesn't mean that you can't or shouldn't re-write it, just that this explanation should be in the edit summary when you change things and if asked, you can explain it on the article's talk page.
I hope this helps! Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 20:35, 30 November 2018 (UTC)
