Welcome!

Hello, Redheadchick46, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Shalor and I work with the Wiki Education Foundation; I help support students who are editing as part of a class assignment.

I hope you enjoy editing here. If you haven't already done so, please check out the student training library, which introduces you to editing and Wikipedia's core principles. You may also want to check out the Teahouse, a community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to helping new users. Below are some resources to help you get started editing.

You can find answers to many student questions on our Q&A site, ask.wikiedu.org

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me on my talk page. Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 17:09, 7 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Book of Haggai

Hi! I wanted to give you a head's up - the source you added wasn't usable as a source. The reason is something that may surprise you - the book is a collection of various Wikipedia articles put into print format and sold online. This means that it's not something we can use to back up the claim because Wikipedia can't source itself and the publishers do not do any sort of fact-checking to the articles prior to publication.

There's a page on this here. No worries about adding the source - it's something that you couldn't have known about prior to this class and it happens relatively often with people. I like that you're actively searching for sourcing though! :) Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 15:15, 25 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

September 2018

Hello, I'm Zackmann08. Thank you for your recent contributions to InRiver. I noticed that when you added the image to the infobox, you added it as a thumbnail. In the future, please do not use thumbnails when adding images to an infobox (see WP:INFOBOXIMAGE). What does this mean? Well in the infobox, when you specify the image you wish to use, instead of doing it like this:

|image=[[File:SomeImage.jpg|thumb|Some image caption]]

Instead just supply the name of the image. So in this case you can simply do:

|image=SomeImage.jpg.

There will then be a separate parameter for the image caption such as |caption=Some image caption. Please note that this is a generic form message I am leaving on your page because you recently added a thumbnail to an infobox. The specific parameters for the image and caption may be different for the infobox you are using! Please consult the Template page for the infobox being used to see better documentation. Thanks!

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for abusing multiple accounts. Note that multiple accounts are allowed, but not for illegitimate reasons, and any contributions made while evading blocks or bans may be reverted or deleted.

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. Bbb23 (talk) 13:01, 2 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Bbb23 - I was wondering what happened to cause the block. I saw that there were two other accounts, one of which was marked as having a conflict of interest. Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 13:26, 2 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Shalor (Wiki Ed): All three accounts promoted the same article.--Bbb23 (talk) 13:28, 2 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Bbb23 - yikes! Thanks for catching this and the blocks. Definitely not something that we (or I especially) would condone! Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 13:32, 2 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
