Race and Intelligence
Hi HamshaAndrew, I'm providing support for your course on critical race theory. I noticed you added the article Race and Intelligence to your planned articles. That article (along with some others) has been a minefield for new and veteran editors alike for some time. So much so that the community has imposed special restrictions (referred to as discretionary sanctions--unfortunately that link is not very edifying), namely a strong and bright line restriction on edit warring (reverting another editor to preserve a particular contribution multiple times).

I'm mentioning this for two reasons. First, once you participate on the talk page or the article yourself, you are liable to receive a boilerplate notification of "sanctions", which if you aren't expecting it can be a bit disconcerting (the notice will likely look like this). Second, articles under these sort of sanctions are often much more difficult to contribute to than other articles, for a variety of reasons. You may find your contributions reverted by editors exercising an abundance of caution or you may discover that a section you hoped to improve has been the subject of months-long debate between heavily invested editors. By and large it is a tough article to tackle.

Ian, Wiki Ed's content expert in the sciences, has some experience in the topic are and can help you find a closely related topic which is not under the sanctions or he may be able to help you navigate your way through this article, though I would recommend choosing a different subject. I hope this helps. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me here or on my talk page. Adam (Wiki Ed) (talk) 20:00, 5 March 2015 (UTC)

{{Hidden|style=width: 50%;|contentstyle=text-align: left;|1=How do I create citations?|2=#Do a search on Google or your preferred search engine for the subject of the Wikipedia article that you want to create a citation for. 
 * 1) Find a website that supports the claim you are trying to find a citation for.
 * 2) In a new tab/window, go to the [//tools.wmflabs.org/makeref/ citation generator], click on the 'An arbitrary website' bubble, and fill out as many fields as you can about the website you just found.
 * 3) Click the 'Get reference wiki text' button.
 * 4) Highlight, and then copy (Ctrl+C or Apple+C), the resulting text (it will be something like, copy the whole thing).
 * 5) In the Wikipedia article, after the claim you found a citation for, paste (Ctrl+V or Apple+V) the text you copied.
 * 6) If the article does not have a References or Notes section (or the like), add this to the bottom of the page, but above the External Links section and the categories:

Help me please!
Hello, can I close my account after I finish this course project? Thank you very much.


 * Sorry, accounts can't be closed. But all you have to do is stop using it.  Anon 126   (notify me of responses! / talk / contribs) 20:05, 12 March 2015 (UTC)

 * Welcome aboard. Just as friendly advice, even on your own user talk page it is a good idea to sign your posts, for example your request for help. To do that, you can just put the tilde character four times in a row (which will look like this ~ ) at the end of your post. That Wikipedia software will expand those four characters into your date-stamped signature. (I also have the habit, which many other Wikipedians have, of preceding my signature with a space, two hyphens, and then one more space.) -- WeijiBaikeBianji (talk, how I edit) 21:12, 12 March 2015 (UTC)
