Welcome!
Hello, Rtalkad, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of your recent edits did not conform to Wikipedia's verifiability policy, and may have been removed. Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations that have been stated in print or on reputable websites or in other media. Always remember to provide a reliable source for quotations and for any material that is likely to be challenged, or it may be removed. Wikipedia also has a related policy against including original research in articles.

If you are stuck and looking for help, please see the guide for citing sources or come to the new contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

 * Simplified Manual of Style

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you need help, check out Questions, ask me on my talk page, or. Again, welcome. Doug Weller talk 12:32, 5 October 2018 (UTC)

Neanderthal behavior
Thanks for your interesting edit. Unfortunately I couldn't tell if it was in the cited sources, and if it isn't, it's original research. I see you're having a bit of a rough time. Your greatapes.png was deleted as we couldn't tell if it was a copyright violation and you had trouble using it anyway. And now I've reverted you. There's definitely a learning curve and you've had the bad luck to be hit by it twice. I had similar problems when I started and even after 180,000 edits I still get reverted!

You might want to read Contributing to Wikipedia. And look at the menu just under the title, a lot of helpful links. Especially the WP:TEAHOUSE which is a great place for new editors to ask questions. Here's a good guide to adding citations for sources, complete with videos: Help:Referencing for beginners.

Don't be discouraged. Ask for help, use talk pages, etc. Maybe join a WP:WIKIPROJECT although sadly the Primates one is pretty dormant. The archaeology one isn't. Doug Weller  talk 13:28, 5 October 2018 (UTC)
