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! Doug Weller talk 18:03, 1 May 2017 (UTC)

Removing cited material
Please do not remove properly cited material from Wikipedia, as you did with these edits to Yosef Ben-Jochannan. If you believe there is material on the page that unfairly portrays Ben-Jochannan, please discuss the matter on the article's talk page. WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 18:18, 1 May 2017 (UTC)

Yosef Ben-Jochannan
You are adding unsourced or badly sourced material, some of which looks like copyright violations. You are changing the text so that sources have been moved from the text that they sourced to text that has nothing to do with the source. Your edits are violations of WP:NPOV. This is an encyclopedia and should reflect that reliable sources say about the subject - see WP:RFS and WP:VERIFY. Our guidelines also say that we use last names, and do not call peoople 'Dr' but show their qualifications. We'd never say "his uncanny ability to critically analyze, and scrutinize the authenticity of recorded history." about anyone. That's editorial comment and we aren't allowed to make it, see WP:NOR. And "holds the title/rank of 360° Grand Master in the Craft of Amen-Ra!" - what kind of encyclopedia would use an exclamation mark that way? Let alone the fact that there's no source. And frankly the article now looks stupid. It claims as fact that he had a degree from Cambridge but the reference says there's no record. Doug Weller talk 18:35, 1 May 2017 (UTC)
