April 2018 edit
Hello, I'm Shellwood. I noticed that in this edit to 7 July Memorial, you removed all the content without explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, I restored the page's content. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Shellwood (talk) 21:24, 30 April 2018 (UTC)
- If this is a shared IP address, and you did not make the edits, consider creating an account for yourself or logging in with an existing account so you can avoid further irrelevant notices.

Veterans benefits for post-traumatic stress disorder in the United States edit
Someone from this IP address has on two occasions, 13 Nov 2018 (diff) and 20 Nov 2018 (diff), added inappropriate text to Veterans benefits for post-traumatic stress disorder in the United States, apparently in an attempt to promote a company website. Please do not do this. It will keep getting deleted. - Mark D Worthen PsyD (talk) 23:03, 24 November 2018 (UTC)
- I should have looked more carefully at the URLs (website addresses). It seems that whomever is adding this content is not trying to promote a company website, but is trying to insert information about service animals for veterans with PTSD. There is nothing wrong with adding such information in and of itself, but you need to put it in the appropriate place within the article.
- The sentence to which you added content specifically refers to benefits that the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) provides to veterans receiving service-connected benefits for PTSD. As far as I know, VA does not provide service animals to such veterans. If that policy changed recently, i.e., VA does provide (or pay for) service animals to veterans suffering from PTSD, please provide a citation. In that case your addition would be appropriate.
- On the other hand, if service animals are not a current VA benefit, you could still add information about service animals and veterans with PTSD elsewhere in the article. But before you do so, please learn a little bit about how to properly add content ("edit") Wikipedia articles. It won't take long, and your edits are much less likely to get deleted. I will add a new section (below) welcoming you to Wikipedia and providing links to "getting started" articles and other helpful resources. Thank you - - Mark D Worthen PsyD (talk) 23:14, 24 November 2018 (UTC)

- Do a search on Google or your preferred search engine for the subject of the Wikipedia article that you want to create a citation for.
- Find a website that supports the claim you are trying to find a citation for.
- In a new tab/window, go to the citation generator, click on the 'An arbitrary website' bubble, and fill out as many fields as you can about the website you just found.
- Click the 'Get reference wiki text' button.
- Highlight, and then copy (Ctrl+C or Apple+C), the resulting text (it will be something like
<ref> {{cite web | .... }}</ref>, copy the whole thing). - In the Wikipedia article, after the claim you found a citation for, paste (Ctrl+V or Apple+V) the text you copied.
- If the article does not have a References or Notes section (or the like), add this to the bottom of the page, but above the External Links section and the categories:
==References==
{{Reflist}}
Welcome #2 edit
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia!
Here are some links to pages you may find useful:
- Contributing to Wikipedia
- Tutorial
- How to edit a page
- How to develop articles
- Simplified Manual of Style
You don't have to log in to read or edit articles on Wikipedia, but if you wish to acquire additional privileges, you can simply create a named account. It's free, requires no personal information, and lets you:
- Create new pages and rename pages
- Edit semi-protected pages
- Upload images
- Have your own watchlist, which shows when articles you are interested in have changed
Note that in order for the first three features to be available, you must have had an account for a certain number of days and made a certain number of edits.
If you edit without using a named account, your IP address (216.6.241.0) is used to identify you instead.
I hope that you, as a Wikipedian, decide to continue contributing to our project: an encyclopedia of human knowledge that anyone can edit. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, or you can to ask for help on your talk page, and a volunteer should respond shortly.
We also have an intuitive guide to editing if you're interested.
By the way, please make sure to sign and date your talk page comments with four tildes (~~~~).
Happy editing! - Mark D Worthen PsyD (talk) 23:37, 24 November 2018 (UTC)
March 2022 edit
Hello, I'm Eviolite. I noticed that you made an edit to a biography of a living person, Ricky Schroder, but you didn't support your changes with a citation to a reliable source. Wikipedia has a strict policy concerning how we write about living people, so please help us keep such articles accurate. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. eviolite (talk) 18:15, 7 March 2022 (UTC)
April 2022 edit
Hello, I'm Isabelle Belato. I wanted to let you know that I reverted one of your recent contributions—specifically this edit to Onondaga Community College—because it did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the Help desk. Thanks. Isabelle 🏳🌈 13:25, 20 April 2022 (UTC)
Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Onondaga Community College. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been or will be reverted.
- If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, please discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively, you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant noticeboards.
- If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, please seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.
Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continued disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. Thank you. Fragrant Peony (talk) 13:27, 20 April 2022 (UTC)
Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did with this edit to Onondaga Community College, you may be blocked from editing. Isabelle 🏳🌈 13:53, 20 April 2022 (UTC)
