Welcome!

Hello, Espoldi, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Ian 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.

  • You can find answers to many student questions on our Q&A site, ask.wikiedu.org

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me on my talk page. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 13:19, 7 September 2016 (UTC)Reply

Original research

edit

  Welcome to Wikipedia. We welcome and appreciate your contributions, including your edits to Speed, but we cannot accept original research. Original research refers to material—such as facts, allegations, ideas, and personal experiences—for which no reliable, published sources exist; it also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. Thank you. - DVdm (talk) 17:56, 7 December 2016 (UTC)Reply

  Please do not add original research or novel syntheses of published material to articles as you apparently did to Speed. Please cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. Thank you. - DVdm (talk) 14:09, 8 December 2016 (UTC)Reply

  Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to violate Wikipedia's no original research policy by adding your personal analysis or synthesis into articles, as you did at Speed, you may be blocked from editing. - DVdm (talk) 14:10, 8 December 2016 (UTC)Reply

  You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you violate Wikipedia's no original research policy by inserting unpublished information or your personal analysis into an article, as you did at Speed. - DVdm (talk) 14:57, 8 December 2016 (UTC)Reply
