[edit]Hello. Your recent edit to West High School (Knoxville, Tennessee) appears to have added the name of a non-notable entity to a list that normally includes only notable entries. In general, a person, organization or product added to a list should have a pre-existing article before being added to most lists. If you wish to create such an article, please first confirm that the subject qualifies for a separate, stand-alone article according to Wikipedia's notability guideline. Thank you.

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Penn Foster College. 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. The article is about the college, and the website clearly states that it is headquartered in Scottsdale. Meters (talk) 20:04, 6 November 2017 (UTC)
Welcome!
[edit]Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:
- The five pillars of Wikipedia
- Contributing to Wikipedia
- How to edit a page
- Editing tutorial
- Picture tutorial
- How to write a great article
- Naming conventions
- Simplified Manual of Style
Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:
- Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
- Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
- 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.
- No edit warring or abuse of multiple accounts.
- If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.
- 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.
- Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.
The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome!

Heinrich Schliemann & the swastika
[edit]Maxmizerski2000, you've evidently put some work into your addition to Heinrich Schliemann. Unfortunately, all that information on the swastika is pretty much off topic for the Schliemann article. The connections exist, but they certainly don't merit a section, and unless his finding of swastika motifs is dealt with in the article, and is discussed by reliable sources along with his other discoveries, a particular focus on the Swastika would seem WP:UNDUE. See also WP:Content fork. You also used cut & paste to transfer material from other Wikipedia articles, without crediting those articles for the materials. Please see WP:Copying within Wikipedia for policy and guidelines relating to this. Nope, you didn't do that. Struck through, with apologies Haploidavey (talk) 10:31, 15 November 2017 (UTC)

Please discuss your removal of the Anne Frank images on talk pages
[edit]You'll need to explain it, the images don't suggest she was a Communist. Doug Weller talk 21:40, 16 November 2017 (UTC)
It may seem ungrammatical to you, but Wikipedia has adopted logical quotation as part of the style guide. Please do not "correct" quotation placement except in accord with that guideline. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 19:29, 20 December 2017 (UTC)
Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals
[edit]This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.
You have recently shown interest in post-1932 politics of the United States and closely related people. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect: any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or any page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.
For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.
The above notice is to let you know that the article Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals is under special editing restrictions. You can read about the restrictions at Talk:Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals. One restriction is that you may only make one “revert” (WP:1RR) in a 24 hour period. You have removed large chunks of material from the article several times, so you have already exceeded your 1RR limit. You should not do any more reverts today. In any case, you should not remove sourced material as you have been doing without an explanation in an edit summary. And if the material gets restored, you may not remove it again; you must go to the article talk page and discuss it and get consensus to remove it. Ask me if you have any questions. --MelanieN (talk) 17:52, 21 August 2018 (UTC)
