Welcome!

Hello, Carmstrong11, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Ian and I work with Wiki Education; 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.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me on my talk page. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 13:32, 24 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Your edits in A Rape on Campus

Hi Carmstrong11, welcome to Wikipedia and thanks for your contributions. I regret having had to revert some of them, but they had several serious issues:

Please do not copy and paste text from the cited sources (except perhaps quotes that are marked as such), as you did here and here. See WP:COPYPASTE for more information about this.
Please do not delete sourced text without explanation, as you did here with the sentence about the audio recordings published by WCAV. You can state a rationale in the edit summary, or for longer comments point to the article's talk page. (Also - but this is a frequent beginner mistake - don't mark an edit as minor when it substantially changes the content, see Help:Minor edit.)
Your claim that Erdely's Rolling Stones article "sparked [...] more stories to come out", namely about the Sandusky, Steubenville and Sulkowicz cases, is not supported by the reference you cited. In fact, unless time travel was involved, that would be very surprising, considering that they all broke beforehand (2012, 2013 and summer 2014, respectively, whereas Erdely's article was published in November 2014).
