User talk:ParkerTen

December 2022
Hello, I'm IndigoBeach. I wanted to let you know that one or more external links you added have been removed because they seemed to be inappropriate for an encyclopedia. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page, or take a look at our guidelines about links. Thank you.

 * Hi IndigoBeach, thanks for letting me know. Given that the author's website I am linking to has written a book about her father and knows more about him than anyone else on the planet, not only by personal association but also by meticulous and referenced research, I think you have acted with the best intentions but erroneously. Can you suggest a way I can include her website on Wiki whilst staying within the guidelines? Many thanks. ParkerTen (talk) 21:25, 1 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Hi ParkerTen, I'm adding a belated welcome message to your talk page, which links to Wikipedia's guidelines. For all articles, use of reliable sources, as defined in Wikipedia's guidelines, is essential. Self-published sources are avoided, especially if they are not independent from the Wikipedia subject/article and/or when there is a dispute between the authors of published sources. Instead, it's better to use an independent published reliable source that reviews the self-published source/dispute, so that articles maintain a neutral point of view.
 * If you still consider that the website link should be included in the article, please discuss it on the article talk page, where I've already added a comment about it, so that other editors can also join in the discussion. Many thanks IndigoBeach (talk) 11:32, 2 December 2022 (UTC)

Welcome!
Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:
 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * Contributing to Wikipedia
 * How to edit a page
 * Editing tutorial
 * Picture tutorial
 * How to write a great article
 * Naming conventions
 * Simplified Manual of Style
 * Task Center – need some ideas of what kind of things need doing? Go here.

Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:
 * Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
 * Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
 * Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
 * No edit warring or abuse of multiple accounts.
 * If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to [ do so].
 * Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
 * Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome! IndigoBeach (talk) 11:51, 2 December 2022 (UTC)
