Welcome!

Hello, Daysiaamariee, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Elysia 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.

Ecological niche

Hi. I noticed that your edits to the ecological niche article were reverted. Please keep in mind that your contributions to Wikipedia need to be based on high-quality, reliable sources. You should be looking for scholarly sources - ideally review articles from peer-reviewed journals or books from academic publishers. You should not be relying on a random internet site like ThoughtCo. I have nothing against high school teachers, but they aren't the sort of expert on the subject of ecology we should be using on Wikipedia. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 03:31, 10 May 2019 (UTC)

Hello, I've reverted your edits again. You not only re-added the ref from the high-school teacher, "In the recent past" is not an appropriate phrase for a Wikipedia article, which is supposed to be timeless. I'm not really sure what your other edits contribute to the lead section of the article, either. I know you were assigned to work on that page, but to be honest I think you'd be better off trying to work on a less established article. Graham87 05:35, 10 May 2019 (UTC)

Graham87, thanks for your help here, I've gone ahead and emailed the student about the importance of using reliable sources and not edit warring. Thanks, Elysia (Wiki Ed) (talk) 17:38, 10 May 2019 (UTC)
