Hi @Sapsaree, I've reimplemented your edit with the sources you provided, which you can see here, but I have a few things I'd like to inform you about for the future.

If you are editing articles about yourself then you should be made aware of and follow the conflict of interest policy, an excerpt from the WP:COISELF section: "If you have a personal connection to a topic or person with an existing article, you are advised to refrain from editing that article directly and to provide full disclosure of the connection if you comment about the article on talk pages or in other discussions." So instead of editing directly, in the future try making an conflict of interest edit request, and you can read a guide to making effective COI edit requests at WP:COIER.

As for how to add citations in general, the Introduction has a brief tutorial about how to add sources which you can jump to directly here.

If you have any questions in the future feel free to ask at my talk page, or visit the Teahouse where many experienced editors answer questions from newcomers. Thank you and happy editing! fifteen thousand two hundred twenty four (talk) 19:52, 4 June 2025 (UTC)

thanks for making the edits. i could not figure out how to do them. meanwhile, i haven't made any edits on my own wikipedia entry before and have no idea who is writing these profiles. i just happened to notice that the Amherst degree, which was awarded a year ago, was not listed, and I had seen a lot of news coverage, including in the New York Times, about the Harvard degree, and it made me wonder. I don't plan to add anything more, conflict of interest and all. Sapsaree (talk) 00:39, 5 June 2025 (UTC)

also, am i allowed to submit pictures/photos? Sapsaree (talk) 00:40, 5 June 2025 (UTC)

Absolutely! So long as they have an appropriate license or are your own work that you then freely license, you can see this part of the Introduction which can guide you through the process. I don't have much personal experience with files, so if you experience any trouble uploading or adding pictures, I'd advise asking at the Teahouse or using this link to ask one of the helpers there to assist you here. fifteen thousand two hundred twenty four (talk) 00:52, 5 June 2025 (UTC)
