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
 * 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 sock puppetry.
 * 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! --Demiurge1000 (talk) 17:06, 9 November 2013 (UTC)

Citing your own work
Thanks for clarifying this point.

Hi -- I've reverted one of your edit that added a citation to "Baronov, David. (2000). The Abolition of Slavery in Brazil: The “Liberation” of Africans Via the Emancipation of Capital. Westport, CT: Greenwood Press" to the article Slavery in Brazil. I'm assuming you're David Baronov, given your username. It's not usually a good idea to insert references to your own work on Wikipedia. If your book is a good source for those articles, I suggest you mention it on the talk pages for those articles, and then other editors can get involved and decide whether to use the book. That avoids any conflict of interest or appearance of self-promotion on your part. Let me know if you have any questions -- you can just post here, or on my talk page. Thanks -- Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 17:55, 9 November 2013 (UTC)
 * I noticed you also added references to other books of yours to other articles; I've reverted those too, on the same basis. Again, if you have any questions, just let me know. Mike Christie (talk - contribs -  library) 18:06, 9 November 2013 (UTC)
