Hello, Sctrex! Welcome to Wikipedia! It appears that you are here to participate in a class project. If you haven't done so already, we highly encourage you to go through our training page that's specifically created and catered for students such as yourself:

If you run into any questions or need help with anything, you can visit Wikipedia's page for questions in order to receive assistance, or you can reach out to me directly by visiting my user talk page and leaving a message. Alternatively, you can also ask for help at any time by editing this page and placing {{Help me}} before your question. This will alert other editors and volunteers that you need assistance, and you'll receive a response as soon as someone is available. Please make sure that you sign your messages on discussion pages by entering four tildes (~~~~) at the very end of them; this will automatically insert your username along with the current date and time. I also highly recommend that you review the advice for students page for additional resources.

Before you create an article, make sure that you understand what kind of articles are accepted here. Remember: Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and while many topics are encyclopedic, some things are not.

Your instructor or professor may wish to set up a course page, and if your class doesn't already have one, please tell your instructor about creating one. It is highly recommended that you place this text: {{Educational assignment}} on the talk page of any articles you are working on as part of your Wikipedia-related course assignment. This will let other editors know that the article is a subject of an educational assignment as well as aid your communication with them.

Here are some more pages that you might find helpful:

• Introduction to Wikipedia
• The five pillars of Wikipedia
• How to edit a page (editing policy)
• Help pages index
• Visual editor tutorial
• Wikitext tutorial (as well as the Wikitext cheatsheet – if you're choosing to edit pages using the Wikitext source code instead of the VisualEditor)

While editing:

• Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
• Be bold, but do not add troublesome content to any articles, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject. Doing so will result in your account and your IP address being blocked from editing.
• Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
• Do not engage in edit warring or the abuse of multiple accounts.
• Provide reliable sources to the content you add. If you are adding biomedical information, please follow this guideline.
• Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
• If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.

We hope you like it here and encourage you to stay with us as a member of the community—even after your assignment is finished. Your time, energy, and your contributions will be highly valued and appreciated among us.
