Hello, Varzolao, 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.

Welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate
your contributions, but in one of your recent edits, it appears that you have added
original research, which is against Wikipedia's policies. Original research refers to material—such as facts, allegations, ideas, and personal experiences—for which no reliable, published sources exist; it also encompasses
combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite a
reliable source for all of your contributions. Thank you.

Hi, Varzolao. Regarding this, you are being reverted because there are issues with your edits, such as grammar and structure. And here? You removed the well-sourced, up-to-date human sexuality text for the definition to add your "human sexuality is a biological fact" text sourced to a 1974 reference. Not only is that source too old to consider for a definition in the lead, the article quite clearly shows that human sexuality is not simply a biological fact. There are societal and cultural aspects as well.
Pinging Shalor (Wiki Ed), who can further help you on your student editing. Shalor, if you reply to me or refer to me, there is no need to ping me to Varzolao's talk page. I'll check back here. Flyer22 Reborn ( talk) 15:18, 15 July 2019 (UTC)
Hi! I'm responding to your question on my talk page about your edits to the spice article. I see where you added material, however it looks like the user Pepperbeast removed the content with the following notes in their edit summary:
Looking at the work, I can see where some of their concerns came from. I have some notes for you, which I'll leave below:
What I would recommend, as stated above, would be to focus solely or predominantly on the medicinal benefits. The section should include information about when and where spices were used medicinally. For example, the section would say something like "Cinnamon has been used to treat X and Y in England during the 1800s". It can take a general look at the topic, however it should be specific in who is stating this and when the statements were made.
I hope this helps! Shalor (Wiki Ed) ( talk) 20:24, 30 July 2019 (UTC)
To create additional pages in your userspace, the page title must begin with User:Varzolao. At least twice today you've created a page titled Varzolao/sandbox edit. That is not a user page. That is a page in the mainspace of Wikipedia, published as an article. Another editor moved the earlier page you created to User:Varzolao/sandbox edit, but then you created it again in mainspace. Please do not do that; work on the page in your userspace. Thanks. Schazjmd (talk) 23:02, 30 July 2019 (UTC)
I took a look - something to keep in mind is that since this will be a section in a larger article, there's not really a need to explain the importance of spice as this should already be in the prior sections. What you want to do here is leap directly to the meat of the subject matter - the medicinal uses of spice. I've rearranged the content some and removed the introductory part of the section that should already be mentioned elsewhere in the article. I've put it below your paragraph - if you like it, feel free to copy it to the main article. It is all your own work, just rearranged and tweaked some.
So far the work definitely looks stronger than what was previously added. Shalor (Wiki Ed) ( talk) 01:53, 31 July 2019 (UTC)
