Welcome!
Hello, McHusky, 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) 16:14, 2 October 2020 (UTC)

Inertia (anxiety)
McHusky, the article Inertia (anxiety) that you are assigned was in terrible shape before you even got there. Rather than try to fix it, it'll be easier to start from scratch. I've blanked the body of the article, preserviing only the first sentence. You can build it up from scratch. Gather your sources first, like you learned from your training modules, and go from there.

As far as the title change: the article is pretty much a blank slate now; what do you think the article ought to be about? The article title should closely identify the topic of the article, and then the sources you choose, and the text you add, should all be relevant to the topic.

 * Since I wrote, it's also been discovered by another editor, that earlier versions of the article (before you started on it) were plagiarized, so now you'll see a big box with a scary-looking message at the top of the article now, warning about it. Don't worry about that box&mdash;it doesn't concern you; you can just ignore it. Just leave the box there, while you continue to improve the article; someone else will remove it in due time.

 * Well, that's interesting. I was thinking that it might be preferable to just start a new page with the proper title (Autistic Inertia), but I've found some places that linked to the wikipedia page clearly in reference to autistic inertia, so it really looks like having a redirect will be appropriate. I think I'll stay the course with the title change and just start rebuilding the article from the current blank page. I went ahead and started the move request. Thanks for all the help, by the way!

Please stick around
, I realize your course ends in a couple of days. I just wanted to say (as I said once before at the Afd) that I think you'd make a great addition to the corps of editors here, and I hope that you stick around as Wikipedia editor after your course is done.

 * I agree with Mathglot - you're off to a great start, and I do hope you choose to stick around! Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 15:33, 14 December 2020 (UTC)
