An extended welcome

Welcome to Wikipedia. I've added a welcome message to the top of this page that gives a great deal of information about Wikipedia. I hope you find it useful.

Additionally, I hope you don't mind if I share some of my thoughts on starting out as a new editor on Wikipedia: If I could get editors in your situation to follow just one piece of advice, it would be this: Learn Wikipedia by working only on non-contentious topics until you have a feel for the normal editing process and the policies that usually come up when editing casually. You'll find editing to be fun, easy, and rewarding. The rare disputes are resolved quickly and easily.

Working on biographical information about living persons is far more difficult. Wikipedia's Biographies of living persons policy requires strict adherence to multiple content policies, and applies to all information about living persons including talk pages.

If you have a relationship with the topics you want to edit, then you will need to review Wikipedia's Conflict of interest policy, which may require you to disclose your relationship and restrict your editing depending upon how you are affiliated with the subject matter.

Some topic areas within Wikipedia have special editing restrictions that apply to all editors. It's best to avoid these topics until you are extremely familiar with all relevant policies and guidelines.

I hope you find some useful information in all this, and welcome again. --Ronz (talk) 00:46, 17 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Cynthia Ross Friedman

For your information, a search on https://webapps.tru.ca/telbook/ for "Friedman" shows Cynthia Ross Friedman as a faculty member in the biological sciences department. DES ^(talk)_{DESiegel Contribs} 17:01, 18 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. The above website "telbook" has no such entry for Cynthia Ross Friedman, I just checked today. Truthandrealfacts (talk) 23:22, 20 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Single purpose account

You appear to be a single-purpose account whose only interest is editing the article about Cynthia Ross Friedman and I would encourage you to edit a broad range of topics, not just the one. User:Ronz has given you some excellent advice in the section “An extended welcome” above and I encourage you follow it. --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 18:55, 20 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

One wiki page at a time for me. I will edit on a range of topics, please rest assured and thank you for the Ronz advice reminder. For noting, all TRU links to Cynthia Ross Friedman are 404, not found and her name is not on the university telbook site for all staff. Perhaps she is not employed there anymore and the wiki page should be updated to past tense employment and the hyperlinks are from archived materials?
