Hello, Professor arithmetic, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few links to pages you might find helpful:

Judging from your first few edits, you might be under the impression that Wikipedia is a place to present new ideas about the topics explained in the articles. It is not. Wikipedia is strictly a summary of information already published in established, credible sources—preferably secondary sources that reflect existing scholarly consensus. Please see WP:OR, "No original research". It is one of the fundamental policies of Wikipedia. —Ben Kovitz (talk) 05:22, 7 August 2016 (UTC)Reply

Please do not add original research or novel syntheses of published material to articles as you apparently did to Deductive reasoning. Please cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. Thank you. bonadea contributions talk 11:29, 7 August 2016 (UTC)Reply

Please stop adding unsourced content, as you did to Deductive reasoning. This contravenes Wikipedia's policy on verifiability. If you continue to do so, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.

If something is presented as "recent tentative research" it is by definition not acceptable for Wikipedia, unless a number of reliable independent sources have discussed it, and usually not even then. Please see What Wikipedia is not. In addition, please have a look at WIkipedia's external links policy. bonadea contributions talk 12:15, 7 August 2016 (UTC)Reply
