Advice for editing on Beothuk article
Hello, I noticed that your recent attempts to edit the Beothuk article were blocked. This is meant to prevent spam and other forms of abuse, but it can prevent good-faith efforts to improve articles.

Here is some advice if you want to contribute without running into the same problems:


 * Add more references/citations. One of the reasons your changes were not allowed was that you included a lot of material without properly formatted references. Here is a tutorial on how to add them.
 * Keep in mind that Wikipedia summarizes information found in reliable, published sources and is not for personal analysis or viewpoints. (But we do describe opinions held by other people, if they are reported in reliable sources.)
 * Consider discussing your changes before making them.
 * Every article has a "talk page" which is meant for this type of discussion. This article's talk page is at Talk:Beothuk (you can also find it by clicking the "Talk" link at the top of the article). There are already some prior discussions there. Feel free to participate in the prior discussions, or add a new topic to provide your concerns or suggestions.
 * If you want to get the attention of more people, you can leave a message at WikiProject Indigenous peoples of North America. (If you've already left a message on the article's talk page, you can just leave a short note at the WikiProject, something like "I left some comments on the talk page for Beothuk regarding...")
 * When discussing changes, try to remain calm and assume good faith when possible.
 * Ask for help if you need it. The Teahouse is a good place for new contributors to get help.
 * Consider creating an account. This is not required but it does provide many benefits.

I'm sorry your experience editing Wikipedia has not gone well so far, but I hope you can contribute more constructively in the future. Anon 126  (notify me of responses! / talk / contribs) 01:46, 9 October 2023 (UTC)
