Welcome!

Hello, Jlouro1, 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.

Are you sure?

@Ian (Wiki Ed): Water fluoridation controversy‎ is a highly edited, highly refined article that is monitored by a collection of long-serving editors, including those with PhDs and MDs. You appear to have little experience with Wikipedia much less the area of fluoridation and chemistry. I am unsure if your teacher has a strong record on Wikipedia as an editor. If not, dont bother.

So you have every right to edit any article, but you can expect those edits to get rapid scrutiny. Many other articles are more needful of help and require less expertise. Just sayin' --Smokefoot (talk) 22:52, 11 September 2021 (UTC)

I agree with Smokefoot, this is likely to be a very difficult article to work on, both because it doesn't have easy areas to fix (the article is fairly complete and good quality) and also because it's controversial. I strongly recommend picking a different topic. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 17:44, 13 September 2021 (UTC)
