Welcome!
Hello, Carleton2712, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Ian 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. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 13:45, 26 January 2018 (UTC)

Advice
Happy editing.--Smokefoot (talk) 22:45, 15 February 2018 (UTC)
 * The most important step in your contributions to Wikipedia: make sure that your content relies on secondary and tertiary sources, i.e. reviews and books. Anything else will probably be removed, so don't bother citing routine journal articles.  Wikipedia guidelines specify reviews and books. WP:SECONDARY and WP:TERTIARY.
 * Bear in mind that editors at Wikipedia often, even routinely, erase everything that classes contribute (because it is usually so awful), especially when the instructor is uninvolved. One way to prevent this wasted time is to base your writings on very general, print sources.
 * If you and your fellow students want help, post questions on the Talk page of your article.
