Welcome!

Hello, Writercal, 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 recent edits to the page History of San Francisco have not conformed to Wikipedia's 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 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. Additionally, 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! Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

Copypasted content / your Teahouse question

Hello Writercal, thank you for your efforts to improve these articles. However, content should not be simply copypasted from external sources. I have added a few more details at your question on WP:Teahouse, but please feel free to ask me or at the Teahouse, if you have further questions about editing on Wikipedia. We'd be glad to help. Best regards. GermanJoe (talk) 23:50, 4 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

May 2019

Please stop attacking other editors, as you did on User talk:Marianna251. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Comment on content, not on other contributors or people. Chris Troutman (talk) 16:42, 3 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I did not attack anyone personally -- I said that they edited and deleted an hour worth of my work for no reason and were inaccurate. All of my work is sourced. I said that they are acting like "Nazis" and have in effect censored Wikipedia by whitewashing and removing facts on the Presidio and Buffalo Soldiers. Yet -- you type something that you can block me? More censorship. <insert eyeroll> So it's okay for you to 'threaten' me but it's not okay for me to complain that an edit made that San Francisco *should* include info about the Presidio and about Buffalo Soldiers should be included but instead some random person, Marianna251 DELETED IT FOR NO REASON. Saying there were no sources. It is all sourced. I have never edited anything on Wikipedia and I assure you I never will again. What a waste of time! What a bunch of power hungry people going around DELETING things for no reason. I can't think of one valid reason which is why I complained. While you're at it, maybe in the historical overviews of history by year, for example 1900, 1901 etc. YOU MIGHT WANT TO INCLUDE ONE WOMAN. Just one. Women are a part of history. Bias much? If Wikipedia is a "collective" well then -- all voices are a valid part of the collective, including my own. Just like all collectivist things -- it gets overrun by Power Hungry people who act like bullies. I'm not power hungry. I simply want my edit on the Presidio to stand. It should have never been deleted by an overzealous editor for absolutely no reason. It's bizarre that Wikipedia has people going around deleting other people's edits - my edit was properly sourced. It's FACTUAL information on the Presidio. The Presidio is an important part of San Francisco and is not included on the page. If there is something I don't understand about Wikipedia then my bad but that is my reaction. I stand by it. If you block me -- I don't really care. I said my peace. Please be more inclusive and include my edit on the Presidio.Writercal (talk) 13:09, 5 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
