Welcome to Wikipedia!

Hello, Boredandwilledit. Welcome to Wikipedia! Thanks for your contributions. My name is Howicus, and I've been an editor here for some time. Here are a few links to pages you might find helpful:

• Introduction and Getting started
• Contributing to Wikipedia
• The five pillars of Wikipedia
• How to edit a page and How to develop articles
• How to create your first article
• Simplified Manual of Style

If you're working on creating a new article, you should take a look at this page on your first article. Also, this page has instructions on how to cite sources, complete with videos.

If all this Wikicode is a little overwhelming, this cheatsheet may help untangle it.

If you're looking for a tutorial of sorts, The Wikipedia Adventure is a good option.

And if you need more help, I'd recommend getting live help at the Wikipedia help chat channel: click here to join. Additionally, you could ask me on my talk page, try the Teahouse (a help page for new users) or click here to ask for help here on your talk page and a volunteer will visit you here shortly

Please remember to sign your messages on talk pages by typing four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date. Again, welcome, and have fun editing! Howicus (Did I mess up?) 22:52, 8 April 2015 (UTC)

Focus on the Family

I appreciate your enthusiasm for making sure that the Focus on the Family article is as clear as can be. However, a lot of your edits are tripping over the Wikipedia goal of a neutral point of view. For example, we don't tend to throw groups into subject-matter categories like "Hate speech" or "Pseudoscience", those are more for pages directly on those topics than for groups or people that some may think practice the same. As true as the term marriage equality may seem, it's pretty much a term used by active proponents, and we avoid that just as much as we avoid the term homosexual "marriage" used by opponents, preferring to go with the terminology used in more neutral sources, same-sex marriage. I'm going to be undoing the bulk of your recent edits for this reason. If you think I'm in the wrong, I recommend that you take it to the talk page and gain consensus for your changes before reinstating them. --Nat Gertler (talk) 22:21, 12 April 2015 (UTC)
