Welcome!
Hello, Dave Lopes, 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 to the page Haitian Creole have not conformed to Wikipedia's verifiability policy, and has been or will be 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:

Hello, I'm Jim1138. I noticed that in this edit to Haitian Creole, you removed content without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, the removed content has been restored. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Jim1138 (talk) 04:12, 21 December 2017 (UTC)

Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Haitian Creole, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear to be constructive and has been reverted. If you only meant to make a test edit, please use the sandbox for that. Thank you.

WikiProject Haiti
Hi Dave Lopes, I noticed your interests in Haitian Creole and thought I'd extend the invite to a completely revamped WikiProject Haiti. I also agree with your reasoning that influences from "Portuguese, Spanish, English, Taino and African languages" could be considered misleading. I'll assist you at attempting to neutralize that notion. Hope you stick around! Cheers! Savvyjack23 (talk) 19:54, 9 February 2018 (UTC)
