Welcome!

Hello, Crode1212, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Ian and I work with Wiki Education; 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.

Welcome

Welcome to Wikipedia, Crode1212!

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I'm Dustfreeworld, one of the thousands of editors here. Below are some pages that you might find helpful: Our five pillars Introduction to Wikipedia How to edit a page (editing policy) Help pages index (glossary) Article development Wikitext cheatsheet While editing Wikipedia: Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies. Be bold, but 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; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing. Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites. No edit warring or abuse of multiple accounts. Provide reliable sources to the content you add. If you are adding biomedical information, please follow this guideline. 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. Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum. If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.

If you have any questions, check out the Teahouse or ask me on my talk page. Please sign your messages on discussion pages by typing four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date. Again, welcome! ----Dustfreeworld (talk) 19:05, 1 May 2024 (UTC)

Construction waste

Hi there. Thank you for your contribution. In this edit of Construction waste, you changed the text from “Data provided by 24 states reported that solid waste from construction and demolition (C&D) accounts for 23% of total waste in the U.S.” into “Data provided by 24 states reported that solid waste from construction accounts for 2.3% of total waste in the U.S.”, which is incorrect and *not* supported by the sources. [1][2] Please note that content needs to be supported by reliable source and needs to be verifiable. That edit has been reverted. Since there were many other subsequent edits, they were also reverted inadvertently. Please feel free to add back other edits if legitimate / needed (but probably not removing the dioxin information again IMO). Thanks. --Dustfreeworld (talk) 19:09, 1 May 2024 (UTC)

BTW, I noticed that you have added health risks of mercury to the article. To add biomedical information we need to follow this sourcing guideline, so that edit is also reverted. I hope you understand. Happy editing. --Dustfreeworld (talk) 19:27, 1 May 2024 (UTC)

Dioxin

In this edit you’ve copied content from Construction waste to Dioxin. Please note that we need to provide attribution (usually in edit summary) when copying within Wikipedia. I’ve added that for you this time [3] --Dustfreeworld (talk) 19:44, 1 May 2024 (UTC)
