Welcome!
Hello, Octaviusevans, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Shalor and I work with the Wiki Education Foundation; I help support students who are editing as part of a class assignment.

I hope you enjoy editing here. If you haven't already done so, please check out the student training library, which introduces you to editing and Wikipedia's core principles. You may also want to check out the Teahouse, a community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to helping new users. Below are some resources to help you get started editing. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me on my talk page. Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 17:22, 14 February 2018 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions, but in one of your recent edits to Parenting, it appears that you have added original research, which is against Wikipedia's policies. Original research refers to material—such as facts, allegations, ideas, and personal experiences—for which no reliable, published sources exist; it 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. Neil N  talk to me 21:58, 2 May 2018 (UTC)

Please do not add original research or novel syntheses of published material to articles as you apparently did to Parenting. Please cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. Thank you. OhKayeSierra (talk) 23:42, 2 May 2018 (UTC)

Hi Octaviusevans. Is your instructor on Wikipedia? I'm not blaming you, but it seems you haven't been properly taught on what kind of content to add to our articles. --Neil N  talk to me 23:44, 2 May 2018 (UTC)

Copying within Wikipedia requires proper attribution
Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Parenting styles to Parenting (your addition has since been removed). While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted copied template on the talk pages of the source and destination. If you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, please provide attribution for that duplication. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 13:34, 3 May 2018 (UTC)
