Welcome!
editHello, NoahDaniels, 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.

Net neutrality
editHi, I wanted to leave you some quick notes (more just overall guidelines/warnings) about editing net neutrality. The first is that you need to be extremely careful with your edits, as this is a very hot button, controversial topic on Wikipedia and in general right now. Because of this the article will be more closely monitored than some other articles. You need to make sure that you are putting forward the best possible sources and content. Your edits look to be good, but I wanted to give you a definite head's up about this since the page is currently under sanctions, which essentially means that the article's content is more closely scrutinized and that if content is challenged and removed, you should not add it back without discussing it on the talk page or the talk page of the editor who removed the content. The article has actually been placed under semi-protection, which means that only autoconfirmed or confirmed editors can edit. You fall within this group so you will still be able to edit, but you definitely want to make sure to keep an eye on the talk page. If you plan on making any big changes or additions to the page you should bring these edits up on the talk page first.
Also, make sure that when you add content to an article that you do not mark it as a minor edit - this is meant to signify small things, like fixing spelling errors or grammatical mistakes, tiny things that people are unlikely to find controversial. I noted that you did this for one of the edits, so just be careful about this. I'm not terribly worried about your edit to the article, but I didn't want to send you into a bit of a lion's den that is anything even remotely related to the Trump administration without giving you a bit of a warning. My honest recommendation would be to take more of a passive role in editing this page this week - Thursday is going to be... interesting, to say the least.
