User talk:129.101.229.240

Welcome!
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions&#32;so far. I hope you like the place and decide to stay.

Here are some links to pages you may find useful:
 * Contributing to Wikipedia
 * Tutorial
 * How to edit a page and How to develop articles
 * Simplified Manual of Style

You don't have to log in to read or edit articles on Wikipedia, but if you wish to acquire additional privileges, you can simply  [ create a named account] . It's free, requires no personal information, and lets you:
 * Create new pages and rename pages
 * Edit semi-protected pages
 * Upload images
 * Have your own watchlist, which shows when articles you are interested in have changed

Note that in order for the first three features to be available, you must have had an account for a minimum number of days and made a minimum number of edits.

If you edit without using a named account, your IP address (129.101.229.240) is used to identify you instead.

I hope that you, as a Wikipedian, decide to continue contributing to our project: an encyclopedia of human knowledge that anyone can edit. If you need help, check out Questions, or you can  to ask for help on your talk page, and a volunteer should respond shortly. We also have an intuitive guide on editing if you're interested. By the way, please make sure to sign and date your talk page comments with four tildes (&#126;&#126;&#126;&#126;).

question at help desk
Hi, Rochelle! I wanted to let you know your question was answered at the help desk: here. The issue with your edits seems to be that they were copy-pasted from another site, which we never do because it represents a copyright violation. I know it can be very discouraging to have edits reverted. You might want to take the Wikipedia tutorial, which is at The_Wikipedia_Adventure and which will help you learn the various guidelines for contributing! Feel free to ask questions at my talk page. --valereee (talk) 21:51, 30 October 2019 (UTC)

Thanks so much for the personal response! I actually didn't copy-paste: I typed out the story I included by hand from the book, which I cited and footnoted. I didn't realize that wasn't enough. I will edit again and use block quotes and cite more clearly. I love Wikipedia and want to do a good job! Cheers, Rochelle
