Hello, Jskell77. Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions! I'm Smsarmad, one of the other editors here, and I hope you decide to stay and help contribute to this amazing repository of knowledge.

Some pages of helpful information to get you started:   Introduction to Wikipedia   The five pillars of Wikipedia   Editing tutorial   How to edit a page   Simplified Manual of Style   The basics of Wikicode   How to develop an article   How to create an article   Help pages   What Wikipedia is not

Some common sense Do's and Don'ts:   Do be bold   Do assume good faith   Do be civil   Do keep cool!   Do maintain a neutral point of view   Don't spam   Don't infringe copyright   Don't edit where you have a conflict of interest   Don't vandalize   Don't get blocked

If you need further help, you can:   Ask a question

or even:   Ask an experienced editor to "adopt" you

Alternatively, leave me a message at my talk page or type {{helpme}} here on your talk page, and someone will try to help.

There are many ways you can contribute to Wikipedia. Here are a few ideas:   Fight vandalism   Be a WikiFairy or a WikiGnome   Help contribute to articles

Perform maintenance tasks   Become a member of a project that interests you   Help design new templates

Remember to always sign your posts on talk pages. You can do this either by clicking on the button on the edit toolbar or by typing four tildes (~~~~) at the end of your post. This will automatically insert your signature, a link to this (your talk) page, and a timestamp.

The best way to learn about something is to experience it. Explore, learn, contribute, and don't forget to have some fun!
To get some practice editing you can use a sandbox. You can create your own private sandbox for use any time. Perfect for working on bigger projects. Then for easy access in the future, you can put {{My sandbox}} on your user page. By the way, seeing as you haven't created a user page yet, simply click here to start it.

You probably did me a service by forcing me to review my text about the Bowman family. However, you did Nancy Gray a disservice by removing the citation of her work.

John--Prof John S. Kelly (talk) 14:54, 26 April 2017 (UTC)

Hi John, the material you added could not be retained in that form. A link to the page on where Nancy Gray's work can be found was left in the page history. The material that you had copied directly into Wikipedia was first published in 1969 by in the Australian Dictionary of Biography and is now made available online by the Australian National University in a way that is easy to access, but it is still clearly marked as copyright. When material is still copyrighted, sections of it cannot be reproduced in Wikipedia without permission. Drchriswilliams (talk) 17:22, 26 April 2017 (UTC)

Your draft article, Draft:Professor George John Romanes (anatomist)

Hello, Jskell77. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Professor George John Romanes".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply and remove the {{db-afc}}, {{db-draft}}, or {{db-g13}} code.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Legacypac (talk) 05:33, 9 September 2017 (UTC)
