Welcome!

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

Dec 1 check in

This is good progress. Next step is to peer review one of your classmate’s articles. Like your own, these will be on their sandbox pages. You should be able to see who is assigned each article on the Assigned Articles tab, so click on their username to find their sandbox. Remember, you had a training on this, which you can rely on. Feel free to email me if you have questions. --Theredproject (talk) 23:06, 1 December 2019 (UTC)

Clarification on one sentence

I read this sentence "In 2008, Bailey taught as a faculty member in the department of Rhetoric and Writing at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock" and was unsure if what you meant was that "In 2008, Bailey joined the faculty in the department of Rhetoric and Writing at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock" and you might finish the sentence with "where she taught until her retirement in 20XX" or "where she continues to teach." --Theredproject (talk) 14:53, 15 December 2019 (UTC)
