Welcome!

Hello, Baileyw912, 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.

Article assignment

I noticed that you assigned yourself the race and crime in the United States article to work on. I'm sure you're not surprised to realize the topic is a contentious one. You'll notice, for example, that some statements in the lead section have more references than you'd expect, which is a good sign that people have fought over including certain facts. Before you edit the page, please take a look, not only at the article's talk page, but also at the talk page's archives, in particular Archive 5 and maybe the more recent parts of Archive 4.

Please get in touch with me if you have questions. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 19:48, 31 March 2021 (UTC)
