Welcome!
Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:

• The Five Pillars of Wikipedia

• Naming conventions
• Manual of Style

Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:

• Please respect others' copyrights; do not copy and paste the contents from webpages directly.
• Please use a neutral point of view when editing articles; this is possibly the most important Wikipedia policy.
• If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.
• Do not add unreasonable contents into any articles, such as: copyrighted text, advertisement messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject. Adding such unreasonable information or otherwise editing articles maliciously is considered vandalism, and will result in your account being blocked.

The Wikipedia Tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and vote pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome!-Andrew c 01:05, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

Domestic Violence

When blanking large sections of an article, you should probably get consensus on talk page before doing it. You also need to be more careful what you delete: in your last edit, you deleted the "See also" and "Reference" sections. While removing unsources and POV comments is ok, it is usually better to try to source the content and edit the existing content to be more neutral. Reworking is normally preferable to simply blanking. Please come and justify your changes at Talk:Domestic violence.-Andrew c 01:05, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

Adding so many POV-Check tags, without discussion, isn't helpful to other editors. Why not simply go to Talk:Domestic violence and explain in a little bit of detail why you think each section is problematic. Then other editors can discuss and possibly agree with you, and we can take the appropriate steps to fix and or remove the content. It is a little bit harder than simply blanking content, but the result is a better encyclopedia article, and a community oriented process of consensus. I hope this helps. -Andrew c 13:47, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
