Welcome!

Hello, Mathboysmom, 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 to the page List of child prodigies 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! Or, you can just type   on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here 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.

Please do not add or change content, as you did to List of child prodigies, without verifying it by citing reliable sources. Please review the guidelines at Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. SudoGhost 02:13, 27 November 2012 (UTC)
 * The source you provided did not list the individual you added to the article. The sources added will be check to make sure it actually supports the content.  if the individual is not notable and verified by reliable sources for being a child prodigy, the indivdual does not belong on the article.  If you continue to add contentious, unsourced information to the article, you may be blocked from editing.  Please do not reinsert the material in the article without a reliable source directly supporting the content.  You're welcome to discuss it on the article's talk page if you disagree, but please read Wikipedia's policy on verifiability and on living persons first.  Thank you. - SudoGhost 02:16, 27 November 2012 (UTC)

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be engaged in an edit war with one or more editors&#32; according to your reverts at List of child prodigies. Although repeatedly reverting or undoing another editor's contributions may seem necessary to protect your preferred version of a page, on Wikipedia this is usually seen as obstructing the normal editing process, and often creates animosity between editors. Instead of edit warring, please try to reach a consensus on the talk page.

If editors continue to revert to their preferred version they are likely to be blocked from editing. This isn't done to punish an editor, but to prevent the disruption caused by edit warring. In particular, editors should be aware of the three-revert rule, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. While edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount, breaking the three-revert rule is very likely to lead to a block. Thank you. SudoGhost 01:49, 28 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Unless you have a reliable source that directly supports the content, it doesn't belong on the article. I have looked for a reliable source that could verify this individual, but I was unable to find one.  Please do not reinsert this name into the article again, as it doesn't appear to be a notable entry per Wikipedia's guidelines. - SudoGhost 01:51, 28 November 2012 (UTC)
