Welcome to Wikipedia! New editors are encouraged to add content, but your addition at Bridlemile, Portland, Oregon was removed because it was an unsourced claim that may be considered vandalism. You could be blocked if you continue to edit in this way. [Mobile edit. I will update later with more details when I get home.] casualdejekyll  20:59, 1 February 2022 (UTC)

Thank you for checking in. I was using this edit with a class to demonstrate the strengths and potential weaknesses of Wikipedia as a source. It was my intention to undo the edit momentarily, but you beat me to it. Thank you for providing a great example for my class of the Wikipedia community in action! - Bmiletech
 * I'm back on my computer! I hate to be the one going "um, actually" in a situation like this, especially after a compliment (thank you very much), but I'd like to note that you were adding false information to Wikipedia to demonstrate a point, which is not allowed. So consider this a warning to not do that. As long as you don't do that in the future though, you'll be totally fine. And if any of your students decide to become Wiki editors in the future, you may want to direct them to Guidance for younger editors, a page about internet safety, following Wikipedia's rules, and cooperating to build a better encyclopedia. (Maybe if you do that, you might actually be the best teacher at Bridlemile. ) casualdejekyll  23:35, 1 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Oh, where are my manners? I forgot to invite you to the Teahouse, a page where you can ask questions about using Wikipedia and get answers from experienced editors. casualdejekyll  23:38, 1 February 2022 (UTC)

Absolutely a fair point, I should have given more thought to the issue before publishing in that way. Thank you for the resources, I will definitely pass the guidelines for younger editors on to my students. - Bmiletech Some WikiCookies for a good teacher! I appreciate you showing your students our Wiki, and your willingness to learn more about how things work here. casualdejekyll 23:47, 1 February 2022 (UTC)
