Hello, Cherrera32, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Adam 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.

Your edit

[edit]

Hi - about this. You have probably noticed that your edit was removed by "cluebot", which is a robot that removes what it thinks is vandalism. I think what flagged it, is that you added extended content and you didn't cite any source for it. I would have removed it too, because the content violates some of our basic content policies, namely WP:SOAPBOX, WP:OR, and WP:VERIFY.

The mission of Wikipedia is to summarize accepted knowledge. (discussed in WP:NOT). The way we do that, is we find reliable sources (defined in WP:MEDRS for content about health, and in WP:RS for everything else), we read them, and we summarize them, giving the most emphasis to the ideas that are most commonly stated in reliable sources, and less emphasis to marginal ideas (that is described in WP:NPOV, another key content policy). And we provide citations showing where we got the information from. You cannot add content to WIkipedia based just on what you think -- that is what we call "original research" - that is another content policy, and you cannot use Wikipedia to advocate for some position - that is discussed in the policy, WP:SOAPBOX, which is part of NOT.

Lots to learn here! Jytdog (talk) 16:59, 6 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
