Hello, Tiffanymaryjones, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like this place and decide to stay. Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically produce your username and the date. If you need help, check out Questions, ask me on my talk page, or place  on your talk page and ask your question there. If you check the edits which you have put in place, you will find that all of them are now gone. Allow me to explain: your edits consisted solely of addition of material sourced to your own work, and references and citations to that work. Now, I am sure that you put a lot of effort into your work, and that you consider it proper and the material it contains important and worthy of citation. However, by adding all those references yourself, you make it appear that your intent is to promote yourself and your work, which is against Wikipedia policy. My suggestion is that when you think your own work is relevant and worthy of inclusion, you raise that issue on the article's talk page (each article has one, for discussing the editing of that article). That way, other editors will be the ones judging the content's importance and making any insertion of it, so the edits do not appear promotional. Please don't let this early experience scare you away from being an active editor here at Wikipedia; I'm sure that with your knowledge and enthusiasm, you could bring a lot to the encyclopedia! Again, welcome! Nat Gertler (talk) 12:35, 12 April 2010 (UTC)
