Welcome!

Hello, Sanity0517, and welcome to Wikipedia!

There's a page about creating articles you may want to read called Your first article. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{help me}} on this page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date.

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Susan Sarandon. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Repeated vandalism can result in the loss of editing privileges. Thank you. Kbseah (talk) 21:17, 9 October 2017 (UTC)

I didn’t reply to this, largely because I knew it was correct, and wasn’t surprised my prank got me in trouble. I had nothing to say because I expected & knew I would have earned a rebuke. I’ll likely abandon this account because as I’ve tried to use it for more serious things, this was dragged up & used to subject me to a lot of name calling by other editors. I own my stupidity here, but when I made a serious suggestion, I was as I said, subjected to name calling. That editor was corrected & told to reference the behavior not the person, and they doubled down on their comments. Apparently my user name is offensive somehow.

I appreciate your comments above, Sanity0517. The other author should have excercised Wikipedia:Civility, even if he detected a lack of good faith (Wikipedia:Assume good faith) in your edits. Cheers, User:HopsonRoad 03:08, 5 December 2017 (UTC)
