Welcome!

Hello, Abarr256, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Shalor 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.

Hi! I saw that you chose to edit an article that is currently held under sanctions. What this means to you as an editor is that this article will be more heavily watched and edited than some of the other articles on Wikipedia, as the topic is one that can be seen as more highly contentious than others. As such, it's important that you read the discussions on the article's talk page and open up a talk page discussion to suggest any major changes or edits prior to adding them live. The content we may want to add could be something that was already discussed and a consensus gained to not add it or to only mention it in a very specific, careful fashion. To this end, any content that is added should be written as neutrally as possible and the sourcing be as strong as can be.

Now as far as the content you have so far goes, I would specifically only suggest additions to the article on the article's talk page rather than add anything directly. This is one of the most heavily edited and viewed articles on Wikipedia at the moment, so collaboration and discussion is extremely important. To be honest, this will be one of the most difficult articles to edit on Wikipedia right now since it's incredibly easy for content to get removed and challenged. I would not add anything live at this point in time without a consensus on the talk page. Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 15:07, 16 April 2020 (UTC)
