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
 * Contributing to Wikipedia
 * How to edit a page
 * Editing tutorial
 * Picture tutorial
 * How to write a great article
 * Naming conventions
 * Simplified Manual of Style

Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:
 * Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
 * Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
 * Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
 * No edit warring or abuse of multiple accounts.
 * If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to [ do so].
 * Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject. Deliberately adding such content or otherwise editing articles maliciously is considered vandalism; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
 * Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.

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 my talk page. 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! PiGuy3 (talk) 04:58, 22 February 2017 (UTC)

Please read the style guide
Hello, as a relatively new editor, you might not be familiar with the Wikipedia style. For example, Manual of Style/Biographies gives the main guidelines we use here on English Wikipedia for articles about people. It clearly states that we do not use the "Dr." prefix, nor the "Mrs.". After the first mention, we use only the last name. As given in Manual of Style/Capital letters, only proper nouns are given capital letters, not even for rich people who are "president" of something. Generally, we do not promote the subject of articles by calling them "prestigious" either. It might save some trouble if these guidelines were followed. For full disclosure, I have a Ph.D. degree myself, and worked with many other Ph.D. earners for several decades. I am certainly aware of how people promote themselves using the honorific. Wikipedia is not supposed to do that - their public relations department are paid for that. Thank you. W Nowicki (talk) 17:25, 29 May 2017 (UTC)
