Welcome!

Hello, MaryAliceBird, 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 edits have not conformed to Wikipedia's verifiability policy, and may be removed if they have not yet been. Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations that have been stated in print or on reputable websites or other forms of 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. As well, 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:

Again, welcome! --Jezebel's Ponyo bons mots 22:45, 30 August 2013 (UTC)

Original research
Welcome to Wikipedia. We welcome and appreciate your contributions, including your edits to Alison Cheek, but we cannot accept original research. Original research also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. Thank you.--Jezebel's Ponyo bons mots 22:45, 30 August 2013 (UTC)

Please do not add original research or novel syntheses of published material to articles as you apparently did to Alison Cheek. Please cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. The material you added is not supported by reliable independent sources. Personal interviews are unverifiable and cannot be used to support the inclusion of the content you are attempting to add.--Jezebel's Ponyo bons mots 23:26, 30 August 2013 (UTC)
