Welcome!
editHello, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions, such as the ones you made to May 11. I hope you like the place and decide to stay.
Here are some links to pages you may find useful:
- Contributing to Wikipedia
- Tutorial
- How to edit a page and How to develop articles
- Simplified Manual of Style
You don't have to log in to read or edit articles on Wikipedia, but if you wish to acquire additional privileges, you can simply create a named account. It's free, requires no personal information, and lets you:
- Create new pages and rename pages
- Edit semi-protected pages
- Upload images
- Have your own watchlist, which shows when articles you are interested in have changed
Note that in order for the first three features to be available, you must have had an account for a certain number of days and made a certain number of edits.
If you edit without using a named account, your IP address (97.127.17.151) is used to identify you instead.
I hope that you, as a Wikipedian, decide to continue contributing to our project: an encyclopedia of human knowledge that anyone can edit. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, or you can to ask for help on your talk page, and a volunteer should respond shortly. We also have an intuitive guide on editing if you're interested. By the way, please make sure to sign and date your talk page comments with four tildes (~~~~).

- Please note, however, that additions to date-specific or year-specific articles MUST be reliably sourced, or the entry will be removed. This rule has been introduced because of ongoing vandalism over a lengthy period. Thank you. No Great Shaker (talk) 14:01, 1 June 2019 (UTC)
- That information (1858 Minnesota) had already been on the page and is easy to verify. Maybe instead of just removing stuff the person can google it and add a source him/herself.

editHello. This is a message to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions, such as the edit you made to Bloomington Kennedy High School, did not appear constructive and has been reverted. Please take some time to familiarise yourself with our policies and guidelines. You can find information about these at our welcome page which also provides further information about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. If you only meant to make test edits, please use the sandbox for that. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you may leave a message on my talk page. Neither your opinion or mine matters. What does matter is WP:V and WP:CONSENSUS, neither of which exist. Satisfy WP:V, then go to the article talk page and attempt to gain consensus for inclusion. Per WP:BURDEN, this is not optional. BTW, I like history too. Being a high school principal is in no way historic. And someones random memories do not for history make. Verify it with reliable sources. John from Idegon (talk) 19:47, 6 June 2019 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing.
- If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant notice boards.
- If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.
If you continue to disrupt Wikipedia, as you did at Bloomington Kennedy High School, you may be blocked from editing. John from Idegon (talk) 03:52, 7 June 2019 (UTC)
