Welcome![edit]

Hello, Bktul3, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few links to pages you might find helpful:

You may also want to take the Wikipedia Adventure, an interactive tour that will help you learn the basics of editing Wikipedia. You can visit The Teahouse to ask questions or seek help.

With particular reference to your new article about Francis Russell Hittinger, I'd like to suggest that you take a look at the policy page entitled Wikipedia:No original research, and in particular the section of that page that discusses Wikipedia's strong preference for secondary, rather than primary sources. This emphasis on what other independent reliable sources have to say about the subject is inherent in Wikipedia's function as an encyclopedia written with a neutral point of view, and new editors are sometimes surprised by the extent to which it is stressed here. You should also take a look at WP:Biographies of living persons to see some of the concerns that arise in biographical contexts. Hittinger may well be a notable academic who warrants a Wikipedia article, but an article that relies mainly on his own works and biographical information may find itself subject to challenge. To the extent you're able to do so, I suggest that you identify and add more reliable sources written by others that talk about Hittinger and his works and influence.
