Welcome to Wikipedia, and the Gun violence in the United States article
Dear CriticalSkillsStudent,

Hello, I'm UnkleFester. Wikipedia is written by people who have a wide diversity of opinions, but we try hard to make sure articles have a neutral point of view. Your recent edit to Gun violence in the United States seemed less than neutral and has been removed. If you think this was a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. I can understand your enthusiasm for wanting to share this information. I lived in Colorado at the time of the Columbine shooting, and am also a teacher. Columbine affected a lot of people deeply. But your edits will continue to be reverted by other editors unless you do your homework and edit within the Wikipedia editing style. Shaded0 provided the perfect links to you (above) just a few days ago which will be a real help to you, learning doing effective work on Wikipedia. I respectfully suggest that you take a look at those pages before trying again. Thanks for pitching in to make Wikipedia a better resource! UnkleFester (talk) 06:22, 16 November 2017 (UTC)
