Welcome to Wikipedia. We welcome and appreciate your contributions, including your edits to Brighton, Michigan, but we cannot accept original research. Original research also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. Thank you. John from Idegon (talk) 21:51, 16 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Hi. In regard your edit on Brighton mentioned above, you need to understand that this is an encyclopedia.  Your viewpoint on the size of Brighton and its location is not relevant.  "Town" is a legal description of a type of settlement, one that the state of Michigan does not use.  The Metro Detroit statistical area does include Livingston County.  Factual additions are very welcome here and there are many editors that will be happy to assist you with the technicalities, me included.  Additions of your personal views are not welcome.  I will leave you a link to a Q&A form for new editors and some links to the policies around here.  I for one will be more than glad to help you get started.  Feel free to drop me a note anytime on my talk page.  Happy editing. John from Idegon (talk) 21:57, 16 April 2014 (UTC)
