Welcome
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
 * 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 intellectual property rights - do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
 * Maintain a neutral point of view when editing articles - this is possibly the most important Wikipedia policy.
 * If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to [ do so].
 * Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject. Adding such information or otherwise editing articles maliciously is considered vandalism, doing so will result your account being blocked from editing.

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. 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! tedder (talk) 21:39, 23 April 2009 (UTC)

Scarsdale medical diet
Hi Thoth295, I wanted to drop you a line to ask you to please stop adding the actual diet plan to the page Scarsdale medical diet. A diet meal plan is an instructional item, and Wikipedia's policy is that we are not a how-to manual. If you read some of our guidelines on the topic, you will see that the first item in the list of what Wikipedia is not is:

[Wikipedia does not provide] '''1. Instruction manuals. While Wikipedia has descriptions of people, places and things, a Wikipedia article should not read like a how-to style manual of instructions, advice (legal, medical or otherwise) or suggestions, or contain how-tos. This includes tutorials, walk-throughs, instruction manuals, game guides and recipes.'''

A diet plan is essentially both medical advice and an instruction manual, which is why I and other users have been removing it from the article. Your continuing to re-add it is actually violating one of our policies. keɪɑtɪk flʌfi (talk) 15:59, 8 June 2009 (UTC)
