Welcome!
Hello, SALoyd, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of your edits have not conformed to Wikipedia's verifiability policy, and may be removed if they have not yet been. Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations that have been stated in print or on reputable websites or other forms of media. Always remember to provide a reliable source for quotations and for any material that is likely to be challenged, or it may be removed. Wikipedia also has a related policy against including original research in articles. As well, all new biographies of living people must contain at least one reliable source.
If you are stuck and looking for help, please see the
guide for citing sources or come to the
new contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{
helpme}}
on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:
I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, check out Wikipedia:Where to ask a question or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome! Dougweller ( talk) 09:32, 20 August 2012 (UTC)
Please read WP:NOR and WP:VERIFY. This was clearly a personal comment by you (and I presume you meant 'no evidence') and thus does not belong in the article. Please read WP:VERIFY carefully as I am not sure at all that you understand how Wikipedia works. Which isn't surprising or bad in any way as you are new, but given your edits I think you will benefit by reading some of our policies and guidelines to save you from the frustration of having your edits reverted.

I was impressed by your greeting on your user page, but don't let that snow ya' I'm generally disagreeable. Yes, there is much misinformation here at Wikipedia, esp on the Thomas Jefferson page. This page has been subject to a long history of manipulations, to say the least. Just wanted to say hello and thanks for showing an interest and for your time and effort. Voices are needed. Many have shied away from revolving door debates. Need people who can go the distance. On the Jefferson page there remain only a few. On the upside, much progress has been made on the Jefferson page over the last year. Welcome. -- Gwillhickers ( talk) 07:12, 22 August 2012 (UTC)
Once paragraph text becomes too far indented we start over using none, one, two, colons as was done with this paragraph. Other editing features include bold text and text in italics. Just look at the text here in 'edit mode' to see how this is done. Much else can be learned about editing by simply observing other editors. Once again, welcome. -- Gwillhickers ( talk) 18:37, 22 August 2012 (UTC)
