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
 * Contributing to 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 abuse of multiple accounts.
 * 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; 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: &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome! S Philbrick (Talk)  17:27, 31 August 2019 (UTC)

Help me!
Please help me with basic but big edits on a page.

I’m trying to edit the information of a music ensemble I’m a member of, the information is currently out of date, incorrect and a very odd mix of contributions from people trying to promote their own agendas. I signed up and edited the information on the page, including uploading a new photograph but none of it has appeared corrected yet. Is there a period of time it takes to be approved? Or something I’m missing?

 * Your edits were removed from the article as a copyright violation. Aside from the legal issues of using copyrighted material, original content is preferred. However, materials may be donated to Wikipedia following the process at WP:DCP.  However, as you state you are a member of the band, you should avoid directly editing the article as you have a conflict of interest.  Please review the conflict of interest policy and the paid editing policy(since I assume you get income from working with the band) as you must make some formal declarations.  You are permitted to make formal edit requests(click for instructions) on the article talk pages detailing any changes you feel are needed. 331dot (talk) 09:27, 2 September 2019 (UTC)
