Welcome!
editHello, Marilyndowning99, 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.

Author's note
edit
For my wikipedia article, I added a section on critical reception of the article, added a recent work that she has announced to come out in 2019, added who is set to play the star role in the film adaptation that they are working on now, split up the life and career section into two different sections, and added various details and sentences to each section.
I added a lot on her inspiration behind THUG and becoming an author which I think are very important to who she is so this is also what I'm most proud of.
I would like to hear more about what I can add about Angie Thomas herself, or if I should add more about THUG (even another section?). I would also like to hear what I can do better with the critical reception section.
You are risking an indefinite block

- Hi Jytdog - thanks for alerting me to this. Marilyn, I agree with Jytdog. Vandalism is never acceptable on Wikipedia and if you continue to edit in this fashion you will absolutely get blocked from editing. It doesn't matter if this was meant as simple mischief or a statement about Crowder - either way, this is not what Wikipedia is meant for. Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 20:09, 1 October 2018 (UTC)
- Thanks Shalor. I just realized that the class this person was in, was spring semester, so this is a student who came back. Not the kind of retention we want, is it. Hm. Jytdog (talk) 20:10, 1 October 2018 (UTC)
