::One extra thing -- even for non-controversial changes, I strongly recommend always citing reliable sources. This is helpful as they increase CP's reputability, and they are helpful for readers who want to research a certain topic further in-depth.

:::A very good point--yes, please include references. If you used any sources, even just for a basic understanding of the subject, they should always be cited.  If you do not have any, I still suggest you do a little research, and find a good source which supports what you are writing. Common knowledge does not need to be cited (i.e. "red is a color") but when you are making an assertion which some reads may not have already known, try to cite it.  It shouldn't be particularly difficult, just list the source, such as a URL, and perhaps the date you retrieved it.  You are welcome to use any formal citation style, but you are not required or expected to do so.  Most editors just paste the link inside of <code><nowiki><ref> </ref></nowiki></code> tags after the statement being referenced. Thanks! --[[User:DavidB4|<font color="ForestGreen">DavidB4</font>]] <sup>([[User talk:DavidB4|TALK]])</sup> 18:10, 9 May 2019 (EDT)
