Welcome!
Hello, Nate0023, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Ian 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.

Peer Review
The following article I'm editing is the Johnstown Flood National Memorial: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johnstown_Flood_National_Memorial
One of my proposed edits for this article is to add more citations to the Wikipedia article. This article only has one citation, some good citations to use for this article would be:
https://www.stateparks.com/johnstown_flood_national_memorial_in_pennsylvania.html https://www.visitjohnstownpa.com/%3Cnolink%3E/history-heritage/johnstown-flood https://www.nps.gov/jofl/index.htm
Another proposed edit to this article is either removing the term earthen structure from the first sentence of the article or adding a hyperlink to it that will take the user to the earthen structure Wikipedia page. This is my proposed edit:
Johnstown Flood National Memorial commemorates the more than 2,200 people who died in the Johnstown Flood on May 31, 1889, caused by a break in the South Fork Dam.

Any feedback is appreciated.
- @Nate0023:Hi Nate, Dr. Sarraf here.
- Can you show the original passage, your proposed revision, and your justification? Please see other classmates' posts for ideas on how to format your peer review page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Skiv99!
- Can you explain how you plan to use these sources? Each source should be attached to a statement in the article, so I wonder what sentences you'll use these sources for? A few other thoughts about your sources:
- Wikipedia may not consider visitjohntownpa.com a good source because its purpose is to promote Johnstown.
- The article already cites nps.gov. Do you plan to use the citation differently?
- I'd encourage you to visit the library website to find scholarly secondary sources.
- Thanks! KjessJKT (talk) 13:25, 25 February 2021 (UTC)
- @Nate0023 Hi Nate, I saw that you recommended to add more sources. I agree with this however, maybe you could add a section talking about what you would add from those sources specifically. I also agree that earthen structure could be considered jargon in a way. The route of hyperlinking the word would still keep the meaning there. I found the page for earth structure here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth_structure --PatFusty (talk) 20:18, 25 February 2021 (UTC)
