==Welcome!==
Hello, Ajackson12, and [[Wikipedia:Welcoming committee/Welcome to Wikipedia|welcome]] to Wikipedia! Thank you for [[Special:Contributions/Ajackson12|your contributions]]. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of your recent edits to the page [[:2017 Women's March]] have not conformed to Wikipedia's '''[[Wikipedia:Verifiability|verifiability policy]]''', and has been removed. Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations that have been stated in print or on reputable websites or in other media. Always remember to provide a '''[[Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources|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 [[Wikipedia:No original research|original research]] in articles. Additionally, all new [[Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons|biographies of living people]] must contain at least one reliable source.

If you are stuck and looking for help, please see the '''[[Wikipedia:Citing sources|guide for citing sources]]''' or come to the '''[[Wikipedia:Questions|new contributors' help page]]''', where experienced [[Wikipedia:Wikipedians|Wikipedians]] can answer any queries you have!

[[Image:Information.svg|25px|alt=Information icon]] [[Wikipedia:Welcoming committee/Welcome to Wikipedia|Welcome to Wikipedia]]. We appreciate [[Special:Contributions/Ajackson12|your contributions]], but in one of your recent edits&nbsp;to [[:2017 Women's March]], it appears that you have added [[Wikipedia:No original research|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 [[Wikipedia:No original research#Synthesis of published material that advances a position|combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say]]. Please be prepared to cite a [[Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources|reliable source]] for all of your contributions. ''All material in Wikipedia articles needs to be supported by reliable sources. Your edits are not supported by the currently-cited reliable sources; therefore, they cannot stand as-is. Please review [[WP:RS|the Reliable Sources guideline]] and [[WP:V|Verifiability policy]] before editing further; if you have questions about what is and isn't a reliable source, please feel free to ask me or at the [[WP:RSN|Reliable Sources Noticeboard]].

== Edit-warring ==

[[File:Stop hand nuvola.svg|30px|left|alt=Stop icon]] Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an [[Wikipedia:Edit warring|edit war]]. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the [[Wikipedia:Talk page guidelines|talk page]] to work toward making a version that represents [[Wikipedia:Consensus|consensus]] among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See [[Wikipedia:BOLD, revert, discuss cycle|BRD]] for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant [[Wikipedia:Noticeboards|noticeboard]] or seek [[Wikipedia:Dispute resolution|dispute resolution]]. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary [[Wikipedia:Protection policy|page protection]].

'''Being involved in an edit war can result in your being [[Wikipedia:Blocking policy|blocked from editing]]'''&mdash;especially if you violate the [[Wikipedia:Edit warring#The three-revert rule|three-revert rule]], which states that an editor must not perform more than three [[Help:Reverting|reverts]] on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring&mdash;'''even if you don't violate the three-revert rule'''&mdash;should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.<!-- Template:uw-3rr --> . [[User:Snooganssnoogans|Snooganssnoogans]] ([[User talk:Snooganssnoogans|talk]]) 15:24, 13 June 2018 (UTC)

==Actually, you're engaged in two edit wars==
At [[Ilhan Omar]] and [[Ben Shapiro]]. [[User:Snooganssnoogans|Snooganssnoogans]]'s information above applies to both. Please stop. [[User:Bishonen|Bishonen]] &#124; [[User talk:Bishonen|talk]] 15:57, 13 June 2018 (UTC).

== June 2018 ==
[[File:Information orange.svg|25px|alt=Information icon]] Please do not add commentary, your own point of view, or your own [[Wikipedia:No original research|personal analysis]] to Wikipedia articles, as you did to [[2017 Women&#39;s March]]. Doing so violates Wikipedia's [[Wikipedia:Neutral point of view|neutral point of view policy]] and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. Thank you.<!-- Template:uw-npov2 --> &ndash;&nbsp;[[User:Muboshgu|Muboshgu]]&nbsp;([[User talk:Muboshgu#top|talk]]) 17:18, 15 June 2018 (UTC)

==An extended welcome==
Hi Ajackson12. Welcome to Wikipedia. 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 [[WP:BLP|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 [[WP:COI|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 [[Wikipedia:General_sanctions| special editing restrictions]] that apply to all editors. It's best to avoid these topics until you are extremely familiar with all relevant [[WP:PAG|policies and guidelines]].

I hope you find some useful information in all this, and welcome again.

If you'd like to discuss '''why''' you think my edits to [[American Civil Liberties Union ]] are problematic in light of Wikipedia's content policies, I'm very interested in reading what you have to say. --[[User:Ronz|Ronz]] ([[User talk:Ronz|talk]]) 23:23, 22 June 2018 (UTC)

== Note ==

{{Ivm|2=''This message contains important information about an administrative situation on Wikipedia. It does '''not''' imply any misconduct regarding your own contributions to date.''

'''Please carefully read this information:'''

The [[Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee|Arbitration Committee]] has authorised [[Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee/Discretionary sanctions|discretionary sanctions]] to be used for pages regarding all edits about, and all pages related to post-1932 politics of the United States and closely related people, a topic which you have edited. The Committee's decision is [[Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/American politics 2|here]].

Discretionary sanctions is a system of conduct regulation designed to minimize disruption to controversial topics. This means [[Wikipedia:Administrators#Involved admins|uninvolved]] administrators can impose sanctions for edits relating to the topic that do not adhere to the [[Wikipedia:Five pillars|purpose of Wikipedia]], our [[:Category:Wikipedia conduct policies|standards of behavior]], or relevant [[Wikipedia:List of policies|policies]]. Administrators may impose sanctions such as [[Wikipedia:Editing restrictions#Types of restrictions|editing restrictions]], [[Wikipedia:Banning policy#Types of bans|bans]], or [[WP:Blocking policy|blocks]]. This message is to notify you that sanctions are authorised for the topic you are editing. Before continuing to edit this topic, please familiarise yourself with the discretionary sanctions system. Don't hesitate to contact me or another editor if you have any questions.
