Welcome
[edit]Hello, DallasGoldBug, 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 have been reverted. 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.

[edit]Thank you for your contributions. Please remember to mark your edits, such as your recent edits to List of conspiracy theories, as "minor" only if they truly are minor edits. In accordance with Help:Minor edit, a minor edit is one that the editor believes requires no review and could never be the subject of a dispute. Minor edits consist of things such as typographical corrections, formatting changes, or rearrangement of text without modification of content. Additionally, the reversion of clear-cut vandalism and test edits may be labeled "minor". Thank you. I've reverted this, both because you labelled it as a minor edit, but also, and mainly, because it was uncited and looks like original research, please see WP:OR. And please don't let this discourage you, there's a real learning curve to Wikipedia and we are all still on it. :-) Dougweller (talk) 08:36, 29 April 2010 (UTC)
Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference
[edit]Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have enabled.
On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was true
. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to false
in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and you will still be able to manually mark your edits as being 'minor'. The only thing that's changed is that you will no longer be able to have them marked as minor by default. For more information on what a minor edit is, see WP:MINOR or feel to get in touch.
Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of User:Jarry1250, LivingBot (talk) 23:50, 13 March 2011 (UTC)
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia.
While we appreciate that you enjoy using Wikipedia, please note that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia and not a free webhosting service. Wikipedia is not a place to post personal content, host personal websites, or do things that are not directly related to adding to or improving the encyclopedia, as you did at User:DallasGoldBug. Off-topic material may be deleted at any time. This message is not meant to discourage you from editing Wikipedia but rather to remind you that the ultimate goal of this website is to build an encyclopedia. Thank you. --Calton | Talk 13:49, 26 March 2011 (UTC)
Well then I guess I just don't know where to post things, I wish I knew of an instruction guide so I would know in the future.
Also since You have the author of the book I was the medical illustrator for listed on your site Robert Groden, and my work is Copyrighted and published in his two best sellers. Why is not my other work that is in the same field as my work with Groden not accepted? Just because I don't have a degree after my name doesn't mean a dam things considering Robert Groden didn't even graduate High school.
