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

Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:
 * Please respect others' copyrights; do not copy and paste the contents from webpages directly.
 * Please use a neutral point of view when editing articles; this is possibly the most important Wikipedia policy.
 * If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.
 * Do not add unreasonable contents into any articles, such as: copyrighted text, advertisement messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject. Adding such unreasonable information or otherwise editing articles maliciously is considered vandalism, and will result in your account being blocked.

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. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and vote pages using four tildes, like this: &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome!-Andrew c [talk] 21:14, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

Domestic violence
I'm writing you based on your comment to your major edit to the domestic violence article where you said: ''i made changes to the "domestic violence aganist men" portion of the article, becuase it was an assignment for one of my classes. I picked this topic becuase i felt it lacked much needed information.'' First off, I do not want to discourage you from contributing to wikipedia. Your edit was, however, problematic because it went against a number of our guidelines and policies. I suggest you read up on the links in the welcome message, and make sure you understand how wikipedia works before jumping right in. Also, it's always good to try to work with the community, for example, going to the talk page and making proposals for bigger changes before actually making them in the live article. Your big edit failed our verification policy, which is why another editor went through and tagged a large number of your sentences as needing citations. Also, your big edit broke the copyright of a webpage when you copied verbatum their words. Anyway, a good place to continue this discussion would be Talk:Domestic violence. Feel free to make more proposals or discuss any of this there. If you have more general questions about wikipedia, feel free to contact me direct on my user talk page. Thanks.-Andrew c [talk] 21:14, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
