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:

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!

Biographies on Wikipedia
[edit]Hello. I saw you added some content about a YouTube controversy to Phil Mason. The problem is the controversy was rather one-sided, thus violating Wikipedia's policy on neutral point of view, and poorly sourced, which violates Wikipedia's policy on how biographical articles are written. A controversy needs to be sourced to reliable, secondary, independent sources. I realize this is a lot of jargon to be immediately hit with, but the short version is that we need something like a reputable newspaper to report on this. Otherwise, it's considered generic YouTube drama and not encyclopedic. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 23:54, 22 May 2017 (UTC)
