Welcome
Hello, Tuteramanda, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of your edits have not conformed to Wikipedia's verifiability policy, and may be removed if they have not yet been. Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations that have been stated in print or on reputable websites or other forms of media. Always remember to provide a reliable source for quotations and for any material that is likely to be challenged, or it may be removed. Wikipedia also has a related policy against including original research in articles. As well, all new biographies of living people must contain at least one reliable source.

If you are stuck and looking for help, please see the guide for citing sources or come to the new contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type   on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

 * How to edit a page
 * Help pages
 * Tutorial
 * How to write a great article
 * Manual of Style

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, check out Where to ask a question or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome! Dougweller (talk) 05:45, 10 September 2011 (UTC)

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. Before saving your changes to an article, please provide an edit summary&#32;for your edits. Doing so helps everyone understand the intention of your edit (and prevents legitimate edits from being mistaken for vandalism). It is also helpful to users reading the edit history of the page. Thank you. Dougweller (talk) 05:46, 10 September 2011 (UTC)

Ming Dynasty
If you have new sources, these must pass our criteria at WP:RS and be cited inline according to WP:CITE. I note that the article Ming Dynasty was using another Wikipedia as a source, which we never do, and had cited it improperly as well. I've removed that and put fact tags beside the unsourced numbers. This means that if the numbers aren't properly sourced anyone can remove them (which can be done now as well, but hopefully you can find sources. I note that the article already talks about the population during the late Ming. Dougweller (talk) 09:04, 10 September 2011 (UTC)
