User talk:This Username Entered

Welcome!
Hello, I'm David Eppstein. I wanted to let you know that one or more external links you added have been removed because they seemed to be inappropriate for an encyclopedia. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page, or take a look at our guidelines about links. Thank you. —David Eppstein (talk) 18:44, 17 January 2019 (UTC)
 * I wasn't quite sure what to make of this user's edits, but after seeing more it seems that this person is unfamiliar with Wikipedia's reliable sources policies. I would strongly encourage them to read that before adding more links to arbitrary web pages as sources. power~enwiki ( π,  ν ) 18:47, 17 January 2019 (UTC)

An extended welcome
Hi This Username Entered. Welcome to Wikipedia. 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) 02:41, 18 January 2019 (UTC)
