User talk:Tomsmith69

This is being posted on your Talk page where you can receive messages from other Wikipedians and discuss issues and respond to questions. At the end of each message you will see a signature left by the editor posting. This is done by signing with four  ~  or by pressing or  in the editing interface tool box, located just above the editing window (when editing). Do not sign edits that you make in the articles themselves as those messages will be deleted, but only when using the article talkpage, yours or another editor's talkpage. If you have any questions or face any initial hurdles, feel free to contact me on my talk page and I will do what I can to assist or give you guidance.

editing procedure (WP:BRD)
Hi. Everyone is encouraged to make bold additions to Wikipedia articles. However, if someone removes your addition, you are required to go to the article talk page, start a discussion and form a consensus for what should be included on the subject. You do not just put it back. Thanks. John from Idegon (talk) 18:20, 6 May 2015 (UTC)

John, I appreciate your taking the time to help me out. I've had the issue up on the talk page for almost two weeks with no comments. How long should I wait? Also, I came across this and wondered if the addition shouldn't be reposted until there is consensus:

It is preferable that good-faith additions remain in the article pending consensus unless:

The article is a biography of a living person, and the material is potentially harmful The neutrality of the material may be in question The copyright status of the material is in question One or more external links are in question Material clearly not added in good faith should be removed pending consensus.
