Welcome![edit]

Hello, Kristine.mccusker, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few links to pages you might find helpful:

You can visit The Teahouse to ask questions or seek help. Please remember to sign your messages on talk pages by typing four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask for help on your talk page, and a volunteer should respond shortly. Again, welcome!

As I noted in my email to you, I think a rewrite/expansion of the existing article would be best. Probably the easiest way to do this is to use a subpage, as this will let your students experiment without "breaking" anything that's currently in the article. I could create the subpage for you at a new title (e.g. User:Kristine.mccusker/Social Security Act) by copying in the text from the article, your students could modify it freely without affecting the existing article, and when you're ready for the finished product to appear in the article, the content could be copied to the article. Let me know (go to my talk page and hit the "New section" button at the top) if you're ready for me to create the subpage, or if you have any questions; I'll do my best to help.

Don't forget to sign[edit]

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:

Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment; or
With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button ( or ) located above the edit window.

This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.

Thank you. --Orange Mike | Talk 20:50, 16 June 2016 (UTC) (from Chester County, Tennessee)[reply]

January 2017[edit]

Hello. This is a message to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions, such as the edit you made to Social Security Act, did not appear constructive and has been reverted. Please take some time to familiarise yourself with our policies and guidelines. You can find information about these at our welcome page which also provides further information about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. If you only meant to make test edits, please use the sandbox for that. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you may leave a message on my talk page. Thank you. – S. Rich (talk) 13:41, 14 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add original research or novel syntheses of published material to articles as you apparently did to Social Security Act. Please cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. Thank you. --Orange Mike | Talk 18:25, 14 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

February 2020[edit]

Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia, as you did to Oral History Association. While objective prose about beliefs, organisations, people, products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not a vehicle for soapboxing, advertising or promotion. It is also a copyright violation and as such will be removed. WP:COPYVIO LakesideMiners^{Come Talk To Me!} 16:22, 10 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
