Welcome
Hello, 174.253.182.226, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of your edits have not conformed to Wikipedia's verifiability policy, and may be removed if they have not yet been. Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations that have been stated in print or on reputable websites or other forms of media. Always remember to provide a reliable source for quotations and for any material that is likely to be challenged, or it may be removed. Wikipedia also has a related policy against including original research in articles. As well, all new biographies of living people must contain at least one reliable source.

If you are stuck and looking for help, please see the guide for citing sources or come to the new contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type   on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:
 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * How to edit a page
 * Help pages
 * Tutorial
 * How to write a great article
 * Manual of Style

 * I had not expected to contribute much around here but am thinking I might do so and thus likely will create an account. Thanks for your help in showing me how things work around here. 174.253.182.226 (talk) 15:29, 13 May 2011 (UTC)

Block
For the record, I understand from the talk page of an administrator that this IP address and the two others you've been using have been blocked for 72 hours for BLP violations. They are rangeblocks so do not show up in the block record for this IP. Your last contribution under this and your other IPs added unsourced negative information to a biography of a living person, despite warnings to desist, and your talk page post to that article indicated personal animus. The article in question is under Arbitration Committee discretionary sanctions, and further edits of the kind you've been making may lead to further blocks. ScottyBerg (talk) 15:57, 13 May 2011 (UTC)
