Welcome!

Hello, ShannonAndrea, 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.

July 2012[edit]

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. Regarding your edits to Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan, it is recommended that you use the preview button before you save; this helps you find any errors you have made, reduces edit conflicts, and prevents clogging up recent changes and the page history. Thank you. Cmr08 (talk) 04:23, 10 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, please do not add promotional material to articles or other Wikipedia pages, as you did to Henson trust. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you.

From the message you left on my talk page, I think you are misunderstanding what "References" are. They are the sources used to write an article, not the homepages of websites where people can find further information about the subject. Those types of links would be considered "External links" not "References" and external links to the sites you keep adding are not appropriate. On my talk page you mentioned "The reference I added is a good source for people who have children with disabilities as it provides helpful information on estate planning tools such as Henson Trusts." I'm sure it is a good source for what you say, but it is the website of a law firm, which that firm uses as an advertisement to get clients. Just read the page you linked, it says CALL OR E-MAIL TODAY TO SET UP A CONSULTATION X-XXX-XXX-XXXX. It's obvious you're not adding the links for commercial purposes, but that doesn't change the fact that they are commercial links. I'm also not the only editor who reverted the commercial links you added, I'm just the only editor who left you a message explaining my edit. Since you're new here, you should probably read up on Wikipedia's policy for external links, which is WP:EL.
Also, statements you added to Registered Disability Savings Plan, directing people to other websites for assisstance or more information are not approriate either. The text of articles isn't to promote other sites, and external links don't go directly in the text to begin with, they go in "External links" section at the bottom of articles, which is why reading the policy should make this all a little clearer for you.
I'm willing to help you here, so any questions or advice you need, feel free to ask them, I will do my best to answer them. By the way, I noticed that you keep using external links when linking other Wikipedia articles, but that's not the correct way to link them. To correcly link other Wikipedia articles, just put the article title between two sets of brackets and a link to the article will appear in the text. This is known as wikilinking. Anyways, I hope this helps make the reasoning behind my edits a little clearer, but like I said above take a look at the policy and if you still don't quite understand it, just message me.

Hi there, the first link didn't work because you typed it wrong. The title of the article is Henson trust, so when you type Henson Trust, you'll get a red-link since there is no title with that name. The second way you tried to link didn't work because that's not the correct way to add links. Cmr08 (talk) 04:35, 25 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Final warning before blacklisting of site[edit]

http://spam.kpopelaw.com[edit]

This is your last warning. The next time you insert a spam link, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Persistent spammers may have their websites blacklisted, preventing anyone from linking to them from all Wikimedia sites as well as potentially being penalized by search engines.

August 2012[edit]

Hello, I'm Eeekster. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Adult dependent survivor, but you didn't provide a source. I’ve removed it for now, but if you’d like to include a citation to a reliable source and re-add it, please do so! If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks, Eeekster (talk) 00:46, 3 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Child Disability Benefit[edit]

The deletion of an article you created, Child Disability Benefit, has been proposed for the following reason:

Unsourced original research that does not meet notability guidelines.

You are welcome to improve the article to meet Wikipedia's quality standards and remove the deletion notice from the article. You may also remove the notice if you disagree with the deletion, though in such cases, further discussion may take place at Articles for deletion, and the article may still be deleted if there is a consensus to do so.

Wikipedia has certain standards for inclusion that all articles must meet. Certain types of article must establish the notability of their subject by asserting its importance or significance. Additionally, since Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, content inappropriate for an encyclopedia, or content that would be more suited to somewhere else (such as a directory or social networking website) is not acceptable. See What Wikipedia is not for the relevant policy. You may wish to read our introduction to editing and guide to writing your first article.
