Hello, Tttia75, 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.

NRA

Hi! I wanted to give you a quick head's up that the NRA article is very closely watched, so make sure that your material is sourced with the best possible sourcing and is written as neutrally as possible. For example, I would recommend that instead of using polling websites as sources, that you use secondary, independent sources like academic journal articles that mention and reflect on the polling data. The reason for this is that not all polling sites are reliable - even if they may seem like they are - and the secondary source helps validate this. It also helps show that this specific poll is notable enough to highlight in the article. This is especially important with controversial topics like the NRA, as you need to be able to show that the poll data has been mentioned by others and isn't being cherrypicked to back up a specific viewpoint. I hate to say it, but people can and have brought up questions like that with articles in the past, so you need to make sure that you have the best possible sourcing.
