Welcome!
Hello, CarterGrad, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of your recent edits have not conformed to Wikipedia's verifiability policy, and has been removed. Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations that have been stated in print or on reputable websites or in other media. Always remember to provide a reliable source for quotations and for any material that is likely to be challenged, or it may be removed. Wikipedia also has a related policy against including original research in articles. Additionally, all new biographies of living people must contain at least one reliable source.

If you are stuck and looking for help, please see the guide for citing sources or come to the new contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Here are a few other good links for newcomers:
 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * Contributing to Wikipedia
 * How to edit a page
 * Help pages
 * Tutorial
 * How to write a great article
 * Simplified Manual of Style

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you need help, check out Questions, ask me on my talk page, or. Again, welcome. John from Idegon (talk) 21:44, 6 May 2018 (UTC)

Please stop adding unsourced content, as you did to Fairmont Senior High School. This contravenes Wikipedia's policy on verifiability. If you continue to do so, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. ''Secondary sources are required. This article isn't here to serve as a PR vehicle for the school or any of it's activities.''

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you add unsourced material to Wikipedia, as you did at Fairmont Senior High School. John from Idegon (talk) 04:30, 8 May 2018 (UTC)


 * Will you please just stop with the disruptive editing. You've been provided with a series of introductory links to help you understand how Wikipedia works. But you persist in editing disruptively. I'll leave you another link to a place you can ask questions.


 * About the logo: First, two editors have removed it. Clearly you have no consensus for including it. But secondary to that, you cannot legally use it. Why? Everything that goes into the article has to be verifiable to a reliable source. Where's the verification? In order for it to be verifiable, it is pretty much going to have to be published elsewhere. If it is published elsewhere, then the image license on Commons is incorrect and it would have to be deleted from there as a copyright violation. If the band itself were a notable topic (which it's not), a copy of the logo could be uploaded to en.wiki as a fair use exception for use on the band's article (which will never exist). Unused fair use images are automatically deleted after 7 days.


 * You need to read and understand WP:BRD. If you have questions, ask at the Teahouse. If someone reverts a change you've made, DON'T PUT IT BACK. Go to the article talk page and make source and WP:PAG based arguments to try to win a consensus. Without consensus, it stays out. Certain skills are required to edit here. It's up to you to obtain them. It appears you are motivated, just not directed. Perhaps using the Teahouse will be of benefit to you. So would stepping out and editing on an article you have no familiarity with, like perhaps a school in another part of the country. That will force you to edit based on sources, which is what you need to do here as well. It appears you have potential to be a good editor. You just need to clarify what an encyclopedia is in your mind. John from Idegon (talk) 21:04, 13 May 2018 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia: check out the Teahouse!
This is being posted on your talk page where you can receive messages from other Wikipedians and discuss issues and respond to questions. At the end of each message you will see a signature left by the editor posting. This is done by signing with four tildes ( ~ ) or by pressing or  in the editing interface toolbox, located just above the editing window (when editing). You won't need to sign your contributions to articles themselves; you only need to when using talk pages. If you have any questions or face any initial hurdles, feel free to contact me on my talk page and I will do what I can to assist or give you guidance.
