A belated welcome!
editHere's wishing you a belated welcome to Wikipedia, ChunyangD. I see that you've already been around a while and wanted to thank you for your contributions. Though you seem to have been successful in finding your way around, you may benefit from following some of the links below, which help editors get the most out of Wikipedia:
- Introduction
- The five pillars of Wikipedia
- Contributing to Wikipedia
- How to edit a page
- Help pages
- How to write a great article
- Editor's index to Wikipedia
Also, when you post on talk pages you should sign your name using four tildes (~~~~); that should automatically produce your username and the date after your post.
I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! If you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on my talk page, consult Wikipedia:Questions, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and ask your question there.

In my opinion, your edits are a significant improvement. But something has gone wrong with the references now numbered 4,5,6,8,9. Maproom (talk) 11:58, 8 November 2018 (UTC)
- @Maproom: Thanks for the advice! Yes, I will need to go back and fix the references - I had simply copy-pasted links in, without properly fixing the metadata. As soon as I get a free moment... ChunyangD (talk) 13:47, 8 November 2018 (UTC)
Invite to help edit
editHi ChunyangD, I'm working on the following pages: Terry stop, Consent search, Traffic stop, and Warrantless searches. I put some references to case law in the Talk pages and I'm trying to fill out the pages over the next few weeks. Most of the text on the article pages is not mine, so I'm planning to basically write them all. You're welcome to join me, if you have the time! Seahawk01 (talk) 04:30, 9 November 2018 (UTC)
- @Seahawk01: Thanks for the invite! I took a look at Terry Stop - it looks like you've already made some great edits there! One thing to note - Wikipedia tends to prefer references to reputable news articles, and discourages primary source research. While I have noticed that this is not always the case in the legal side of Wikipedia, it would be good to cite some common news articles (ABC, CNN, etc) in these pages! Best of luck in your edits :) ChunyangD (talk) 17:28, 10 November 2018 (UTC)
- @ChunyangD: Thanks for your edits on Terry stop. You have a great writing style.
- I just looked up WP:RELIABLE. As you know, I'm pretty new and still learning. I've been leaning on secondary sources and am not very clear on if Supreme court decisions are considered primary. I will start adding news sources to discuss current events, but I think it will take me several weeks to just get the background in.
- If you have any pages you want help on, ping me on my Talk page. Seahawk01 (talk)
