An extended welcome
Welcome to Wikipedia. I've added a welcome message to the top of this page that gives a great deal of information about Wikipedia. I hope you find it useful.

Additionally, I hope you don't mind if I share some of my thoughts on starting out as a new editor on Wikipedia: If I could get editors in your situation to follow just one piece of advice, it would be this: Learn Wikipedia by working only on non-contentious topics until you have a feel for the normal editing process and the policies that usually come up when editing casually. You'll find editing to be fun, easy, and rewarding. The rare disputes are resolved quickly and easily.

Working on biographical information about living persons is far more difficult. Wikipedia's Biographies of living persons policy requires strict adherence to multiple content policies, and applies to all information about living persons including talk pages.

If you have a relationship with the topics you want to edit, then you will need to review Wikipedia's Conflict of interest policy, which may require you to disclose your relationship and restrict your editing depending upon how you are affiliated with the subject matter.

Some topic areas within Wikipedia have special editing restrictions that apply to all editors. It's best to avoid these topics until you are extremely familiar with all relevant policies and guidelines.

I hope you find some useful information in all this, and welcome again. --Ronz (talk) 20:16, 12 October 2018 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Hipal. I noticed that you recently removed content from Grace VanderWaal ‎ without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. --Hipal/Ronz (talk) 15:21, 2 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Please don't delete it again without first getting consensus on the article talk page. Your personal opinions should not be driving what is in the article. --Hipal/Ronz (talk) 22:49, 2 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Now there is a WP:CONSENSUS on the talk page to include just ONE review that is typical of the reviews. If you wish to delete all but the most representative/typical one, I will support you.  In the future, though, you should not delete things more than once until you get a consensus on the Talk page.  All the best!  -- Ssilvers (talk) 17:43, 4 August 2020 (UTC)

Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did with this edit to Grace VanderWaal, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear constructive and has been reverted. Please make use of the sandbox if you'd like to experiment with test edits. Thank you.

Materialscientist, there has been much discussion about this on the Grace Vanderwaal page and I was following the direction of Ssilvers (above). My justification for removal followed as there was a consensus to remove all the reviews except the one which personified the majority of the reviews for "Stargirl." Please review that discussion and instruct me on how to proceed. Rlp2451 (talk) 18:46, 4 August 2020 (UTC)rlp2451
