Welcome!

Hello, MarieYolette, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was English as a second or foreign language, which appears to be dealing with a topic with which you may have a conflict of interest. In other words, you may find it difficult to write about that topic in a neutral and objective way, because you are, work for, or represent, the subject of that article. Your recent contributions may have already been undone for this very reason.

To reduce the chances of your contributions being undone, you might like to draft your revised article before submission, and then ask me or another editor to proofread it. See our help page on userspace drafts for more details. If the page you created has already been deleted from Wikipedia, but you want to save the content from it to use for that draft, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page.

One rule we do have in connection with conflicts of interest is that accounts used by more than one person will unfortunately be blocked from editing. Wikipedia generally does not allow editors to have usernames which imply that the account belongs to a company or corporation. If you have a username like this, you should request a change of username or create a new account. (A name that identifies the user as an individual within a given organization may be OK.)

In addition, if you receive, or expect to receive, compensation for any contribution you make, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation to comply with our terms of use and our policy on paid editing.

Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

• Best practices for editors with close associations
• Plain and simple conflict of interest guide
• The five pillars of Wikipedia
• Contributing to Wikipedia
• Tutorial
• How to edit a page and How to develop articles
• How to create your first article (using the Article Wizard if you wish)
• Simplified Manual of Style

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your messages on talk pages using 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 your question on this page and then place {{Help me}} before the question. Again, welcome!

MarieYolette, you are invited to the Teahouse!

Hi MarieYolette! Thanks for contributing to Wikipedia. Be our guest at the Teahouse!

No,Tribe of Tiger! I am not the person who made an edit to the "Higgins's burial place." I have no idea how you reached that conclusion.

I received this from the teahouse: If you are same person who was writing per Colin Higgins, please see my note above. In order to add the correct info, we need a source, such as a newspaper obituary. If you can provide such a source, please add it on the talkpage for the Colin Higgins article. I will be watching, and will format the citation, and add the information. Thanks! Tribe of Tiger Let's Purrfect! 00:04, 27 August 2020 (UTC) My edit was on the English as a Second Language page. You must be confusing me with someone else.MarieYolette (talk) 00:50, 27 August 2020 (UTC)

At Teahouse, there was not a break between the previous entry and yours. In future, helpful to name article you ask about, like such English as a Second Language. David notMD (talk) 01:24, 27 August 2020 (UTC)

As David notMD noted, there was some confusion caused by the layout of the sections at the Teahouse. I did not mean to offend you, and I hope you will forgive me. Per David's suggestion, please note the name of the article, when inquiring at the Teahouse, to help your fellow editors. We will our very best to help you! Sincerely, Tribe of Tiger ^{Let's Purrfect!} 01:46, 27 August 2020 (UTC)

Your proposed content

Separate from the error in how to add and reference content, the content you wanted to add was from ERIC, and not peer-reviewed. That does not meet Wikipedia's definition of a reliable source. Adding content to an article is done by clicking on Edit above the section to be modified. The ref is added after the new text. Wikipedia's program automatically leaves a ref number there (renumbering all subsequent refs) and moves the new ref text to the References section. David notMD (talk) 10:02, 27 August 2020 (UTC)
