User talk:Randall-A-Stone

Hi Everyone. I am brand new here to Wikipedia as a member although I use the site frequently in my research studies on a variety of topics. Can anyone tell me if it is possible for me to add to the site with my own research. I will of course print a list of my sources on each topic. Thank You and God Bless You All.

Own Research
Hi Randall. I'm Ishdarian and I'm one of the many editors here on Wikipedia. I saw your question while on recent changes patrol. The answer to your question is a long one and splits into different parts. If you are an average joe like me, then no, you may not submit your own research findings unless they are back up by reliable sources. Information that you have discovered and is not back up by proper sourcing is considered original research and is not allowed. Now, if you are a subject-matter expert and have published various works on a subject or field of study, there is a process. If you have any other questions, please let me know. Happy editing!
