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. Deliberately adding such content or otherwise editing articles maliciously is considered vandalism; 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! Doug Weller talk 07:22, 13 November 2016 (UTC)

International Journal of Archaeology
Sorry, it this definitely fails our criteria for sources. Read WP:RS and WP: VERIFY and see this. There's a learning curve here as well as new number of initially good looking journals that turn out not to be genuine. Doug Weller talk 07:28, 13 November 2016 (UTC)

Please do not attack other editors. Comment on content, not on contributors. Personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Thank you. Doug Weller talk 20:26, 13 November 2016 (UTC)

San Buenaventura de Potano
Until an actual peer-reviewed journal article is available, or the equivalent, please do not reference the so-called "White Ranch Site" on any of the materials related to Potano. This includes reports filed with the Division of Historical Resources, self-published books or articles on the Digital Archaeological Record, the "International Journal of Archaeology", or any other self-published source without peer review and documentation. All of the current evidence indicates the "White Ranch Site" never existed and is likely to be a hoax; for that reason, it should not be added to any articles without actual peer-reviewed material from a credible, recognized scientific journal or the equivalent in support.
