Welcome!

Hello, Dumbpepper, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Ian 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.

You can find answers to many student questions on our Q&A site, ask.wikiedu.org

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me on my talk page. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 18:20, 11 October 2018 (UTC)

Welcome, Dumbpepper! Your sandbox edit looks good, and is nicely cited. May I suggest that it could be further improved by anchoring it in time? The Manual of Style has some guidance on that at MOS:RELTIME. As the full text isn't free-to-read, so you could add "|url-access=subscription" to your citation template, as described at Template:Cite journal#Subscription or registration required. Doing this would put you ahead of the vast majority of Wikipedia editors (including me), but it is really useful. There's also a New York Times article on the ban. I look forward to seeing you around on Wikipedia! HLHJ (talk) 04:08, 15 October 2018 (UTC)
