Hello, Morgan99a, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Gobonobo and I am an online ambassador for your Writing 101 class.

If you haven't already, I'd like to encourage you to read the Wikipedia:United States Education Program's instructions for students. I can help you become familiar with Wikipedia and work on your assignment. If you ever need help, do not hesitate to ask.

If you'd like to get acquainted with Wikipedia, you could have a look at:

• The five pillars of Wikipedia
• Tutorial
• How to edit a page
• How to write a great article
• Manual of Style

If you ever need my help, you can get in touch with me...

• through my talk page here on Wikipedia.
• by emailing me using this page.

When asking for help, please remember...

• Provide a link to the article you are working on (if you are having trouble with a specific issue).
• Provide a detailed question, so that I can provide the best support I can.
• Whenever you post on a user's talk page, please remember sign your messages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date, so the other user knows who posted the message, and when.

I hope you and your class enjoy editing here and will be Wikipedians long after this term! Remember, if you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask! Gobōnobo ^{+ c} 22:21, 11 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Morgan99a. I have your topic down as the 1972 Black Hills flood. It looks great. It should contain links to other articles (done by placing double brackets around terms - usually proper nouns and uncommon terms). Do the quotes from your final paragraph come from a specific sources? Gobōnobo ^{+ c} 22:49, 16 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
