Hello, I'm Jim1138. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Kamala Harris, but you didn't provide a source. I’ve removed it for now, but if you’d like to include a citation to a reliable source and re-add it, please do so! 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) 08:50, 11 November 2016 (UTC)

Welcome!
Hello, Markcan1972, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one of your contributions does not conform to Wikipedia's Neutral Point of View policy (NPOV). Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations that have been stated in print or on reputable websites or other forms of media.

There's a page about the NPOV policy that has tips on how to effectively write about disparate points of view without compromising the NPOV status of the article as a whole. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, to ask for help on your talk page, and a volunteer should respond shortly. Below 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. If you have any questions, check out Questions or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome! Yngvadottir (talk) 19:22, 11 November 2016 (UTC)

Hi: Thanks for providing a reference; the point is now in the article. But it's important to realize that this is an encyclopedia, so we try to be as dry and neutral as possible, and also to write briefly and on point. Please leave it at the bare fact.

 * I do not think idle speculation of what might happen in four years improves our readers' understanding of Harris. That might be a minor note in the body of the article, but it's hardly one of the most essential facts about her. Huon (talk) 22:27, 11 November 2016 (UTC)

Greetings. Thank you for your efforts to improve Wikipedia. Please be aware that Wikipedia's Core content policies include No original research. Some of your edits to the page Kamala Harris appear to constitute novel interpretations of source material, a type of original research. The best approach is to summarize source material in your own words, without going beyond what is expressed in the sources. For more information, see No original research. —Sangdeboeuf (talk) 23:23, 17 November 2016 (UTC)
