Welcome!
Hello, Coffeestudy7, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Ian and I work with Wiki Education; 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) 16:10, 31 August 2023 (UTC)

Introduction to contentious topics
Courtesy pings to and  - I have concerns about student editors selecting subjects of this nature, where WP:CTOP and WP:MEDRS requirements are in place. I have no authority to prohibit it, but I would strongly urge another topic unless you are confident that the student and their supervisor have read and understand those guidelines. Best wishes.

 * Thanks . I agree - editing a topic like this might be ok for a medical class, but it's likely to be a challenge for a student in a writing class.
 * Coffeestudy7, I strongly advise you to pick a different topic to work on. Please get in touch with me (ian@undefinedwikiedu.org) if you need some clarification as to the problems here, or you need some help picking a different topic. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 16:09, 19 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Thanks for changing the assignment details, Coffeestudy7, that is appreciated. Sorry if this was a bit of a rough start to your Wikipedia-editing experience; I wasn't trying to be unpleasant, we just get a lot of disruption at articles like that one from people who have a particular point of view to push, and who don't understanding our sourcing requirements, which makes it a bit of a minefield for new editors to navigate. I'm sure your tutor will work with you to find a more suitable topic; I'd be happy to help you myself if you'd like some suggestions. Feel free to swing by my talk page (User talk:Girth Summit) any time if you want any help or advice. Cheers Girth Summit  (blether)  18:47, 19 September 2023 (UTC)
