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


 * 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. Deliberately adding such content or otherwise editing articles maliciously is considered vandalism; 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! S Philbrick (Talk)  16:50, 11 January 2017 (UTC)

Explanation of my recent reversion
You might be surprised at my recent reversion of your edit to Robert Sturman.

Unfortunately, I have to point out a couple of issues. You either are the Robert Sterman who is the subject of that article or you are not. If you are, you should read WP:COI. The short summary is that you should not be directly editing an article about yourself but proposing changes on the article talk page. In addition, anyone who choses a username which represents a famous person has to provide some evidence to us that you are that person, if you wish to continue editing articles.

If you are not the subject of that article, you should choose a different username.

Regarding the edit itself, the material matched information found at a copyrighted site. It is conceivable you are the author of that material but we do not know that. We have a process for releasing text under a license so that it could be used although that's really appropriate and not likely to be appropriate in this case.-- S Philbrick (Talk)  16:57, 11 January 2017 (UTC)
