Welcome!

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:

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! Liz ^{Read!

May 2019

It may not have been your intention, but one of your edits, specifically one that you made on Black supremacy, may have introduced material that some consider controversial. Due to this, your edits may have been reverted. When adding material that may be controversial, it is good practice to first discuss the changes on the article's talk page before making them, to gain consensus over whether or not to include the text, phrasing, etc. If you believe that the information you added was correct, please initiate that discussion. Thank you. ☾Loriendrew☽ ☏(ring-ring) 22:33, 16 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Mittjohn11,

You are a relatively new editor walking into controversial waters. I think it would be better to learn about Wikipedia editing by working on less politically charged subjects. Then you can learn about Wikipedia policies about finding reliable sources which is required to support any controversial claims along with neutral point of view. There are close to 6 million articles to work on on Wikipedia so there are tons of subjects which have less potential to lead to conflict. Good editing! Liz ^{Read!

June 2019

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be repeatedly reverting or undoing other editors' contributions at Black supremacy. Although this may seem necessary to protect your preferred version of a page, on Wikipedia this is known as "edit warring" and is usually seen as obstructing the normal editing process, as it often creates animosity between editors. Instead of reverting, please discuss the situation with the editor(s) involved and try to reach a consensus on the talk page.

If editors continue to revert to their preferred version they are likely to be blocked from editing Wikipedia. This isn't done to punish an editor, but to prevent the disruption caused by edit warring. In particular, editors should be aware of the three-revert rule, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount, and violating the three-revert rule is very likely to lead to a block. Thank you. Grayfell (talk) 05:16, 9 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Edit summaries saying "Do not change" are aggressive

Particularly as you are a new account with little knowledge if our policies and guidelines. Such commands are a bit off-putting and don't help you appear to be someone willing to learn and work with more experienced editors. Doug Weller talk 12:39, 9 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Your draft article, Draft:Forrest Animation

Hello, Mittjohn11. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Forrest Animation".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply edit the submission and remove the {{db-afc}}, {{db-draft}}, or {{db-g13}} code.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia! TheTrainNoch (talk) 09:45, 18 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
