Hello, Bellanapodano, 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.

Controversial articles

edit

Hi Bellanapodano. I saw your post at the Teahouse about how to handle controversial articles. In general, controversial articles aren't the best place to start editing on Wikipedia. They often require discussion and compromise to get the wording just right, so you'd have to be prepared to read the article's talk pages and its archives. It's also especially important to rely on the highest-quality sources you can find, usually peer-reviewed ones. And when it comes to health-related claims, you should rely on recent (ideally within the last five years) systematic reviews based on the medical literature.

It's almost always easier to learn to edit on something less difficult than a controversial article. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 15:10, 17 September 2020 (UTC)Reply
