Welcome!
Hello, Alysha-Merkel7, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Shalor and I work with the Wiki Education Foundation; I help support students who are editing as part of a class assignment.

I hope you enjoy editing here. If you haven't already done so, please check out the student training library, which introduces you to editing and Wikipedia's core principles. You may also want to check out the Teahouse, a community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to helping new users. Below are some resources to help you get started editing. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me on my talk page. Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 20:35, 6 July 2018 (UTC)

Hi- I Think you just 'edit' it. You can use the fonts and commands you see when you hit edit, and just start writing! IDK if you can see my sandbox, but all i did was hit edit, then type in the articles i was interested in, and then hit publish. It has not given me a option for a new page or subject. :( 2600:100F:B123:9E80:F1C3:40B7:35B5:CFCE (talk) 05:31, 9 July 2018 (UTC)

Cites
Hi! I reverted the addition you made to Johns Hopkins, as the citation you added was a raw html link. This needs to be made into a citation, but more importantly the citation needs to clearly state the claim it's backing up. The source you used was a basic link to the college, which doesn't really back up the claim since it didn't actually say that most classes are on the School of Education's campus - at least not where it could be easily found. It's likely on there, but we have to be able to find the claim, so a direct link to the specific page that makes the claim is what's needed. Thanks! Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 14:25, 18 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Hi! Quick note - make sure that you avoid casual language and slang in articles. For example, cracking down is seen as more along the lines of slang, which may be confusing to non-native speakers of English. It's commonly used slang, but it should still be generally avoided.
