Circumcision
Thanks for your edits at Circumcision. However, it is important that all information be sourced in order to avoid having opinions from editors mixed in with verified text. It takes a while to get used to the procedures (WP:5P provides a good overview). In brief: all text must be verifiable (reliable sources exist), but on contentious articles where text is frequently added or removed, it may be necessary to provide a source at the time of adding the text (otherwise, another editor is free to remove the text). Formatting a reference can be tricky—it is best to leave that for experienced editors. For now, just put the source information in brackets after the text in the article (title, author, publisher, page number, or a URL link to published information).

Edit warring
Please note that edit warring is prohibited. Any editor, new or otherwise, who repeatedly adds or removes text in an article will be blocked (see WP:3RR). Instead, it is necessary to explain why you would like the change made on the article talk page (aka discussion page). Click "discussion" at the top of the article to see the talk page. On the talk page, click "new section" to add a new topic. Some info is at WP:TP, but don't worry about the details—any mistakes can be corrected by other editors.
