Welcome!
[edit]Hello, Aubreycyr, 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.

Definition of Neutrality
[edit]My definition of neutrality not having any conflict or in any disagreement with someone or something else
merged definition: Neutrality is having a balance between a disagreement between both sides
Evaluating sources
[edit]How do we define good? Good would mean reliable, have enough information and shows little to no bias against the topic
What are some good sources? News sources are good to use, books on the history of the topic or government sources that are able to be accessed if possible.
What types of sources should be excluded from wikipedia? Sources such as Buzzfeed that is opinion based, magazines, in general opinion based articles from newspapers
Authorship
[edit]How do you think Wiki Ed Foundation have changed who authors wikipedia pages? Responsible trained students and or faculty selected so that they can have the experience of editing on Wikipedia and giving an understanding on a topic based on reliable sources that they've been able to recognize what would be appropriate to use.
How might this change the content of Wikipedia? This might change the content because once someone has posted false or offensive topics they can be banned from the website. Creates a cite were we can all learn from one another instead and correct eachother
