Welcome
Hello, Croagh2012, 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 edits have not conformed to Wikipedia's verifiability policy, and may be removed if they have not yet been. Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations that have been stated in print or on reputable websites or other forms of 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. As well, 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! Or, you can just type   on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

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.

Your edit to Tom Felton
I just wanted to explain why I've removed the addition you made to Tom Felton's article. I removed his family members' names because those family members aren't celebrities; they're regular people who have the same right to privacy as you and me. Wikipedia tends to err on the side of protecting personal information, and especially the personal information of people who are not notable enough to pass our notability guidelines. You may wish to read our guidelines and our policy on the biographies of living persons.

It's best not to add anything to a biography of a living person unless you add a reference to a reliable source at the same time, as we are also a bit picky about ensuring that everything in a biography of a living person is well-referenced. Thanks and enjoy editing! --NellieBly (talk) 08:35, 11 January 2012 (UTC)
