Welcome to Wikipedia

Hi Goldpoet1951, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions to Chanel Miller. I'm one of the volunteers who helped write that article, as well as that of Miller's memoir. A good practice to keep in mind when editing is that Wikipedia is based on information that can be supported with reliable sources. We call this site policy verifiability. I was able to find a source that Miller's father is a retired therapist, as you asserted with your edit, so I added that reference to the content. When making changes of any kind, even if you know them to be true, it is best practice to have a reliable source to back up your assertion. Then, you can add in a reference after your change that shows it is supported with a reliable source.

Another note: We have no way of verifying that you are who you say you are. However, if you have a close personal connection with the subject of the above article, you are encouraged to avoid editing it directly, as this can constitute a conflict of interest. If you have suggested revisions/edits to make, you can instead suggest them on Talk:Chanel Miller to avoid any appearance of conflict of interest.

Welcome again to Wikipedia. There are lots of helpful editors around who are willing to answer any questions you have. A particularly helpful place for new editors is the Teahouse. Best, Enwebb (talk) 00:32, 4 October 2019 (UTC)
