Welcome!
Hello, KrisHarris, 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) 18:56, 18 January 2018 (UTC)

Quotes
Hi! I saw that you posted some quotes to colorism. I had to remove these because it posed a copyright issue for Wikipedia, as large block quotes like this aren't allowed in this format. Because the site operates under a CC BY-SA 3.0 License, only small quotes should be used and even then, only when the content can't be paraphrased. This goes over the general policy with quotes. Also, in general you should only post content live once it's ready to go live. I'd recommend using your sandbox as a workspace instead.

Another thing to note is that the article Discrimination based on skin color is actually the colorism article - it's just that they gave the article a more general title because there are a few different words out there for colorism and calling it discrimination based on skin color works to cover all of the terms. For what you want to add (info on colorism in the US), you should edit Discrimination_based_on_skin_color. Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 14:46, 1 March 2018 (UTC)
