Hello, Alleeejandro, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Brianda and I work with Wiki Education; 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.

You made a big mistake on your edits to this article and have necessitated all subsequent changes to be reverted. In particular, you moved references listed in the "Works cited" section cited with short citation back into ref tags in the article body. This violates the policy that the original authors of the article get to choose how to handle referencing which should then not be changed by other editors. See WP:REFVAR. Due to your rudeness in presuming to change how multiply cited references are handled, the improvements of several subsequent editors also had to be reverted. NEVER move references listed in a "Work cited" section back into an article. It is considered disruptive editing and can lead to being blocked from editing.

Hello,

We are editing this article as part of a course, and I am the instructor responsible for the error; I apologize, and I can assure you that the edits to references were made in good faith. Of course, that doesn't excuse the error and the resultant upset; I was not familiar with the reference format established by the original articles. To the extent that these actions were interpreted to be rude, that is my fault - not that of this student editor. If it is ok with you, they may attempt to add some of the content back using your reference format. I appreciate that you have taken the time to let us know of our error.

Thank you for your attention.
