Welcome![edit]
Hello, Krista.EH, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Adam 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.

Feedback request[edit]
I've reviewed your proposed edits in your sandbox. They are excellent contributions, cited properly to high quality sources. I wanted to mention a few minor issues:
- Generally, try to avoid using words like claimed, asserted, and admitted when describing people, as those words might unintentionally cast doubt on the statements of those people in the minds of readers. See WP:SAID for more information.
- Try to avoid the use of highly partisan and potentially unreliable sources like The American Spectator, especially when the articles of living people are involved. It's okay to cite such publications for opinions, where relevant, and in this case it's just providing a direct quote, so that should probably be fine.
- Avoid URLs to library databases like EBSCO and Gale in your citations. They will not always work and may require a library login readers won't have. DOIs, like you use for many of your references, are preferred when available, and a few databases like JSTOR provide stable URLs which will work for most readers. It's okay not to include a url if an appropriate one is not available.
- The names of US court cases should be italicized. Italics can be added with the use of two single apostrophes around the italicized text ″like so″.
- Try to include wikilinks to other Wikipedia articles where appropriate. Court cases would be potential articles to link to as Wikipedia generally includes articles about most significant US court cases.
Please let me know if you have any questions. Rob (Wiki Ed) (talk) 05:12, 5 November 2016 (UTC)
Hello, Krista.EH. I wanted to let you know that I’m proposing an article that you started, Occupy and the First Amendment, for deletion because I don't think it meets our criteria for inclusion. If you don't want the article deleted:
- edit the page
- remove the text that looks like this:
{{proposed deletion/dated...}} - save the page
Also, be sure to explain why you think the article should be kept in your edit summary or on the article's talk page. If you don't do so, it may be deleted later anyway.
You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions.
