You are doing excellently. One significant point, however: Bare external hyperlinks do not make good references. If the targetted web page is ever moved, there's no way for an editor to fix the link. See Wikipedia:Cite sources and Wikipedia:Template messages/Sources of articles for how to cite sources well. The two citations that I added are examples of the citation templates in use.

[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:Edwards.1933.Plagiarism.Minority.Press.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:Edwards.1933.Plagiarism.Minority.Press.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.
