Hello, Ksully9900, 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.

Does it matter who writes Wikipedia? If so, why? I think it is very important to understand who commonly writes from wikipedia because there can be inherent bias based on who is writing. Even though wikipedia makes sure all articles are neutral and non-biased, that doesn't mean the website as a whole is unbiased. The main types of people currently writing on wikipedia are men. It is important to understand this because their overall bias even if they do not know it is occurring can effect the website overall. An issue arises with the types of articles that are being created because there is not a diverse pool of writers for the platform. Many articles about women or minorities are poor or do not exist because the people writing may not be as interested in those topics even though they are also very important.
