Welcome!

Hello, Agoldstr, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Ian 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.

You can find answers to many student questions on our Q&A site, ask.wikiedu.org

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me on my talk page. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 14:26, 5 September 2019 (UTC)

Christopher Columbus

Thanks for introducing me to Columbus and the Recovery of Jerusalem by Abbas Hamdani. Now I admit that was the only source I read, but it did not say he was a millenarian. If any of the other sources do, you can replace your edit (which I removed) with one attributing the statement to the author. You've done something I did when I started, treated our articles as we would an academic essay, using sources to build up an argument. I'm afraid that's strictly against policy. See WP:NOR and please read it carefully.

Many apologies for having to remove your edit, but I completely understand why you made it. Doug Weller talk 17:34, 13 December 2019 (UTC)

I placed a footnote to a source which clearly spells out his millenarian beliefs. Its one of the ones you admitted you did not read. User:Andy Goldstrom
