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
- 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 sock puppetry.
- 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!

If you had checked the link which was in the section about early inhabitants which you blanked you would have gone to the source website of the Santa Rosa band of Cahuilla Indians, which really did inhabit Santa Rosa before the arrival of the Europeans. Please do not remove information without checking the citations please. Wiki is not a contest of who knows more, but of which citations are more valid for each piece of information! Thank you!

- I have reverted the edit by Ellin Beltz. I live in Southern California and have family in Sonoma County; further explanation on her talk page (in her defense, the confusion is common xD). —ATinySliver/ATalkPage 08:34, 30 March 2014 (UTC)
- That is a good reversion to mine, I'm glad you made it. You have no idea how many new editors arrive, take out the entire section on pre-European history with a comment "they were never there" and no citation to back up their removals of information. Please forgive me if I knee-jerked incorrectly on your edit which was - as @ATinySliver points out, perfectly valid. Again, my apologies to Nemethhedp. Ellin Beltz (talk) 20:42, 30 March 2014 (UTC)
Thanks! I understand how frustrating it could be when a new user starts deleting and changing things. For whatever reason that entry was bothering me. I don't usually attempt to edit Wikipedia, but I found it was necessary. I would love to add to the history section in the future.
