Hello, Doonizs. Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions! I'm Jax 0677, one of the other editors here, and I hope you decide to stay and help contribute to this amazing repository of knowledge.
Some pages of helpful information to get you started:
    Introduction to Wikipedia
    The five pillars of Wikipedia
    Editing tutorial
    How to edit a page
    Simplified Manual of Style
    The basics of Wikicode
    How to develop an article
    How to create an article
    Help pages
    What Wikipedia is not
Some common sense Do's and Don'ts:
    Do be bold
    Do assume good faith
    Do be civil
    Do keep cool!
    Do maintain a neutral point of view
    Don't spam
    Don't infringe copyright
    Don't edit where you have a conflict of interest
    Don't vandalize
    Don't get blocked
If you need further help, you can:
    Ask a question
or even:
    Ask an experienced editor to "adopt" you

Alternatively, leave me a message at my talk page or type {{helpme}} here on your talk page, and someone will try to help.

There are many ways you can contribute to Wikipedia. Here are a few ideas:
    Fight vandalism
    Be a WikiFairy or a WikiGnome
    Help contribute to articles
           
    Perform maintenance tasks
    Become a member of a project that interests you
    Help design new templates

Remember to always sign your posts on talk pages. You can do this either by clicking on the   button on the edit toolbar or by typing four tildes (~~~~) at the end of your post. This will automatically insert your signature, a link to this (your talk) page, and a timestamp.

The best way to learn about something is to experience it. Explore, learn, contribute, and don't forget to have some fun!
To get some practice editing you can use a sandbox. You can create your own private sandbox for use any time. Perfect for working on bigger projects. Then for easy access in the future, you can put {{My sandbox}} on your user page. By the way, seeing as you haven't created a user page yet, simply click here to start it.

  Welcome to Wikipedia. The recent edit you made to the page User:Sean.hoyland has been reverted, as it appears to be unconstructive. Use the sandbox for testing; if you believe the edit was constructive, please ensure that you provide an informative edit summary. You may also wish to read the introduction to editing. Thank you. -- Tyler D Mace (talk · contr) 17:59, 18 March 2009 (UTC)Reply

hello, you might want to read Wikipedia:Requests_for_arbitration/Palestine-Israel_articles#Discretionary_sanctions before you edit these kind of articles. Sean.hoyland - talk 18:06, 18 March 2009 (UTC)Reply

I have had to remove your image from this article because it lacks any authorship or copyright information on Commons; we cannot risk legal action for copyright infringements. If this is a copyright-free image, please fix it on Commons before replacing it in the article. Thanks. --Rodhullandemu 21:39, 31 March 2009 (UTC)Reply

  Please do not add unsourced or original content, as you did to Gaza War. Doing so violates Wikipedia's verifiability policy. If you continue to do so, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Please do not continue to make the same disputed edits over and over again Nableezy (talk) 16:23, 11 June 2009 (UTC)Reply

Doonizs, indeed your edit attempts are not consistent with several Wiki policies. Nableezy is right and he will be backed up by other editors, including myself. I advise you to write it down first on a gaza war discussion page. If your edits are verifiable (i.e. they are based on info from a reliable source like academic publication, newspaper, etc.) and not merely your guts feeling - then we will seek a way, accepted by others, to insert them in.
