Welcome!
[edit]Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:
- The five pillars of Wikipedia
- Contributing to Wikipedia
- How to edit a page
- Editing tutorial
- Picture tutorial
- How to write a great article
- Naming conventions
- Simplified Manual of Style
Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:
- Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
- Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
- Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
- No edit warring or abuse of multiple accounts.
- If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.
- Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
- Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.
The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome! — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 17:11, 3 December 2018 (UTC)
Watch out for inappropriate use of quotations
[edit]Hi Bailibou19, I wanted to let you know that this edit of yours was undone because of inappropriate use of quotations. To avoid plagiarism and copyright violation, it is not enough to substitute a word or two here and there, or to copy and paste all the content and include it within quotations. You have to digest material and rephrase it in a way that is truly your own words. The use of quotations is generally for attributing statements to people or for controversial statements that would be challenged as non-neutral if an editor used similar wording. Quotes shouldn't replace plain, concise text. Thanks, Elysia (Wiki Ed) (talk) 19:19, 4 December 2018 (UTC)
