Freedom a speech

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
• How to edit a page
• Editing tutorial
• Picture tutorial
• How to write a great article
• Naming conventions
• Simplified Manual of Style

Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia

• Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
• Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
• Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
• No edit warring or sock puppetry.
• If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.
• Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject. Deliberately adding such content or otherwise editing articles maliciously is considered vandalism; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
• Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.

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 discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome!

Hello, I'm MelbourneStar. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Albert Pike, but you didn't provide a source. I’ve removed it for now, but if you’d like to include a citation to a reliable source and re-add it, please do so! If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. —MelbourneStar☆^talk 11:01, 12 April 2014 (UTC)

Please do not add or significantly change content without citing verifiable and reliable sources, as you did with this edit to Albert Pike. Before making any potentially controversial edits, it is recommended that you discuss them first on the article's talk page. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. —MelbourneStar☆^talk 11:36, 12 April 2014 (UTC)

Please stop adding unsourced content, as you did to Albert Pike. This contravenes Wikipedia's policy on verifiability. If you continue to do so, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Flat Out let's discuss it 11:54, 12 April 2014 (UTC)

Please do not add commentary or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles, as you did to Mikael Ljungman. Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. He was convicted (hence the 2 year prison sentence) and so therefore not "suspected". Freedom of speech, doesn't mean distorting the facts to satisfy ones own agenda. —MelbourneStar☆^talk 13:02, 12 April 2014 (UTC)
