Welcome!

Hello, Alisha Soares, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Ian and I work with the Wiki Education Foundation; I help support students who are editing as part of a class assignment.

I hope you enjoy editing here. If you haven't already done so, please check out the student training library, which introduces you to editing and Wikipedia's core principles. You may also want to check out the Teahouse, a community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to helping new users. Below are some resources to help you get started editing.

Hello, I'm Julietdeltalima. Wikipedia is written by people who have a wide diversity of opinions, but we try hard to make sure articles have a neutral point of view. Your recent edit to Berkeley Free Clinic seemed less than neutral and has been removed. If you think this was a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. The content you added is, by and large, not what Wikipedia is here to publish. Wikipedia publishes what reliable third-party sources have said about an article's subject, not what the article's subject has to say about its own self. Minutiae regarding, e.g., provision of dental care based on a lottery, or the scope of routine services provided as part of health care "initiatives" (which is itself a marketing buzzword that shouldn't be in an encyclopedia article), is something that is for the facility's own website, not Wikipedia. Thanks for your attention to these issues. If you have any questions, you will get the quickest answer from the WP:TEAHOUSE editors. Thanks. - Julietdeltalima (talk) 22:38, 19 November 2018 (UTC)

As a further comment, please read MOS:SECTIONCAPS; if you look at a wide variety of Wikipedia articles (which is always an excellent idea before you contribute to any publication), you will see that section headings are written in sentence case rather than title case. In other words, "Eyeglasses and Vision Screening" is wrong; it should be "Eyeglasses and vision screening". There are a lot of tricky nuances associated with the style manual but this is a problem that is easy to fix and I kindly ask that you do so. Thanks. - Julietdeltalima (talk) 22:41, 19 November 2018 (UTC)
