Welcome!

Hello, MarcusPriscusCato, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of your edits have not conformed to Wikipedia's verifiability policy, and may be removed if they have not yet been. Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations that have been stated in print or on reputable websites or other forms of media. Always remember to provide a reliable source for quotations and for any material that is likely to be challenged, or it may be removed. Wikipedia also has a related policy against including original research in articles. Additionally, all new biographies of living people must contain at least one reliable source.

If you are stuck and looking for help, please see the guide for citing sources or come to the new contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

Hello, I'm I dream of horses. I wanted to let you know that I undid one of your recent contributions —the one you made with this edit to Tacitus— because it didn’t appear constructive to me. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. I dream of horses If you reply here, please leave me a {{Talkback}} message on my talk page. @ 06:04, 4 November 2014 (UTC)

I always felt that Tacitus' style was informative, in that unlike many other authors, he used elision rather than exposition to deny a place in history to those he held in contempt. That's a major stylistic difference in approach, and one that's not often enough covered in reference to Tacitus himself.MarcusPriscusCato (talk) 06:11, 4 November 2014 (UTC)

I've also reverted you, see the welcome notice and especially WP:NOR. Sorry about this, writing a Wikipedia article is vastly different from writing an essay. Dougweller (talk) 09:24, 4 November 2014 (UTC)

@MarcusPriscusCato: While they may contain some good info, your edits to Cornwall, Ontario read more like a term paper than an encyclopedia article, and they contain numerous capitalization, style, and punctuation issues. You may want to familiarize yourself with how articles are written here before you add a lot of content to them that other editors are likely to revert. Please refer to the helpful links in the welcome message at the top of this page. Eric ^talk 16:07, 4 November 2014 (UTC)

...ditto for Mille Roches, Ontario. Eric ^talk 16:11, 4 November 2014 (UTC)

I saw your replies on my talkpage. Note that you were not logged in when you left them--it will be easier to communicate with other editors if you stay logged in when you post. Another note: When editors post on your talkpage, they will most likely expect you to reply in the same place. To be sure they see it, you can ping them automatically by putting their username preceded by @ somewhere in your post (e.g. @MarcusPriscusCato). When you do post on an editor's talkpage, most prefer that new sections be added to the bottom of the page. Eric ^talk 16:39, 4 November 2014 (UTC)

Thanks, Eric. I'm feeling my way around, but I hear voices in the darkness calling directions to me.61.73.143.183 (talk) 17:01, 4 November 2014 (UTC) @Eric
