[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. Deliberately adding such content or otherwise editing articles maliciously is considered vandalism; 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!

Edits
[edit]Hi, and good to meet you. Alas, I reverted your Alice Paul edit, although I agree 100% with it. Wikipedia uses encyclopedic language and not personal opinions or other unsourced points of view. Perhaps a tweaking of the language from a source, and listed with the film in the 'Legacy' section, would further summarize the film. Maybe it can be moved to an 'In popular culture' section, which would allow for more detail. Calling it an excellent source for teaching, etc., is point of view, those types of phrases will likely be deleted from most watched articles. Please don't let me and other editors discourage you from editing, once you get the hang of the do and don'ts the experience is quite fun and educational both for the readers and the editors. Enjoy, and thanks for caring about Alice Paul, who seems to be finally getting the historical recognition she earned. Randy Kryn 13:21, 22 December 2016 (UTC)
- I wish you'd followed Randy Kryn's advice. I don't think that TeachWithMovies.org meets our criteria as a reliable source = see WP:RS and I note that you have added your own opinions to virtually all of your edits. Additionally I don't think a section on "Resources for educators" is appropriate in an encyclopedia - see WP:LAYOUT as this section looks like something you think should be standard, such as "See also" sections.
- Do you have any connections with TeachWithMovies.org?
- And finally, this looks like WP:SPAM in that it seems to be publicising a website. Doug Weller talk 15:43, 28 January 2017 (UTC)
