User talk:Jerod Schultz

Hi Jerod,

Sorry if I've seemed arbitrary in my discussions with you. As you may know, Wikipedia has a big problem with [|silly vandalism], especially by anonymous users. When you readded the "Controversies" section without discussion, I assumed that this was silly vandalism, and started acting accordingly. If I have been mistaken from the start, my apologies. I take your creation of a username as a sign that you are interested in contributing positively to Wikipedia, so welcome! Here are a few good links for newcomers:
 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * How to edit a page
 * Help pages
 * Tutorial
 * How to write a great article
 * The Manual of Style

Some other hints and tips:
 * Since you have created a username, you have the privilege of customizing your own user page, which is here. You can also tell us more about yourself at New user log.}}}
 * When using talk pages, please sign your name at the end of your messages by typing four tildes (~&#126;). This will automatically produce your username and the date.

If you have any questions, check out Questions, ask me on my talk page, or place  on your talk page and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions.

In regards to Corn nut: the problem is not the factual accuracy of the information, it's the relevancy. Few people care about UC Berkeley's snack policy. If there is a real controversy, there will be news articles or blogs related to it. Until then, I think it is better to present only the information that most people would want to see when they look up corn nut.

Thanks again for contributing to Wikipedia. I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian.
