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 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! Shearonink (talk) 13:35, 17 November 2014 (UTC)

Wes Studi
Thank you for your interest in editing Wikipedia. I wanted to let you know that I reverted your most recent changes to the article and wanted to give you the reasons why:
 * 1) The source you used for the information is a primary source, those court records. Wikipedia relies mainly on published, secondary sources.  I was unable to find any published sources that refer to your Mr. Studie as being Wes Studi's son and that also referred to Mr. Studie's convictions as relating to his father.
 * 2) The article is about Wes Studi, not about his children. To use this one document as the only source for the information verges on WP:UNDUE since it gives such a prominent place to this information within the asserted father's article.  See Elizabeth Taylor, Dean Martin for how those articles deal with their children.  Scout Willis' & Marston Hefner's legal troubles are not mentioned within their father's articles at all.  Ryan O'Neal's article does mention one of his children's legal troubles but only in the context of the subject's relationships with his children (and also because the information was published in a secondary source).
