Welcome!
Hello, Redaisha541, and welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate encyclopedic contributions, but some of your recent contributions, such as your edit to the page Barefoot, seem to be advertising or for promotional purposes. Wikipedia does not allow advertising. For more information on this, please see: If you still have questions, there is a new contributors' help page, or you can write   below this message along with a question and someone will be along to answer it shortly.

Hi Chris, Thanks for the Welcome and the input. Actually I wasn't trying to advertise, just trying to find a way to get started contributing to Wikipedia. I can understand why the link I added wasn't considered appropriate, but it's too bad the link that was already there - to Society for Barefoot Living - has now been removed. That site is probably the best source of information for people interested in the topic. Redaisha541 (talk) 00:16, 10 December 2013 (UTC)
 * I can understand your frustration. There have been rashes of link spam in the past so Wikipedia has taken a really hard line against external links.  I encourage you to contribute, though.  This category contains a bunch of maintenance items and clean-up tasks that need to be done.  That might help ease your introduction.  If you want to learn wiki coding and buttonology, there's a scripted tutorial that will get you started on editing.  Chris Troutman  ( talk ) 00:59, 10 December 2013 (UTC)
