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! S Philbrick (Talk)  19:10, 4 April 2017 (UTC)

The best practices are that you should list corrections and suggestions for improvement on the article talk page. In the case of highly trafficked pages, this may be enough, and other editors of the article will evaluate and take action. In the vast majority of articles, there may be too few editors following this particular article and the request can be brought to a broader group of editors by adding request edit (Including the curly braces) to the post.

While an obituary can be used as a source, it is not acceptable to simply copy and paste, as the contents are copyrighted.-- S Philbrick (Talk)  19:13, 4 April 2017 (UTC)


 * Slightly reformatted Sphilbrick's suggestion to remove this from the COI edit request queue. Just copy the text request edit and place it above your proposed changes to make an edit request. Altamel (talk) 22:19, 4 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Sorry about that, I'm surprised this hasn't been pointed out before. I'll amend my boilerplate.-- S Philbrick (Talk)  22:23, 4 April 2017 (UTC)
