Welcome![edit]

Hello, Benkessler10, 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.

Draft[edit]

Hi - I saw that you have a draft started in your sandbox. The topic is a little unclear. It looks like it's about a specific aspect of the CASE Act, however the way the page is set up this looks like it's more of a journal or term paper discussing this, as it looks like you will be drawing your own conclusions and making ties where there may not be any between the sources and the topic. Keep in mind that Wikipedia articles are written very differently from an academic or scholarly paper and that we can only summarize what people have explicitly stated in reliable sources. If it's not stated, we can't include it even if the conclusion looks likely as this would be seen as original research.

There is merit in creating sections in the main article on the CASE Act that discusses the history of the act in more detail as well as more information about what would happen under the act and reactions to it, but make sure that this only summarizes existing sourcing without going into too many fine details. I can't stress how important it is that we avoid original research in Wikipedia articles.

Let me know on my talk page if you have any questions! Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 20:09, 11 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
