User talk:SolidGiver

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:
 * Welcome!
 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * How to edit a page
 * Editing tutorial
 * Picture tutorial
 * How to write a great article
 * Naming conventions
 * 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 sock puppetry.
 * 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!

Please stop your disruptive editing. Do not add copyrighted content from other web sites to Wikipedia. And when it's removed for valid reasons (WP:COPYVIO) do not add it again, or you may be blocked from further editing. MrX 22:41, 2 August 2012 (UTC)

Your email to me
It's best to use user talk pages (such as this one; yours) or article talk pages to communicate with editors, as oppossed to email.

You wrote (via email):
 * Apologies! You have been contacting me over my edit attempts on the page Horse Whispers and Lies and I do not understand the problem.  Am I not allowed to included a book review for the actual book that is listed on the page?  How do I reference it?  I added the external link below - thought that was good enough.  Please understand that I am brand new to your site and find it all VERY Seriously confusing with all the code - just trying to add some simple info that is 100% correct.  Not trying to corrupt anything -- just not understanding.

No, I'm afraid you can't cut and paste from another web site, unless you wrote and own the copyright to all of the material. I know editing on Wikipedia can be a little confusing, which is why you should use the links ^ above to find help articles that explain how to edit articles as well as the community policies on editing on Wikipedia. You can also click on help on the panel on the left or here: Help:Contents to find tutorials that should be helpful to you. If you invest a little time learning, I'm sure you will see it's really not too confusing.

If, after reading the help tutorials, you still have questions, please feel free to ask here, or on my talk page.
