Welcome![edit]
Hello, Mp4545a, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Adam 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. You may also want to check out the Teahouse, a community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to helping new users. Below are some resources to help you get started editing.
articles to edit proposal: Bethesda, Maryland https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bethesda,_Maryland. there is significant lack of information about landmarks, history, trails, notable places ect. from the page. I could add a lot of information about local resources, notable places and other topics pertaining to Bethesda. Also an inclusion of important figures that live in the area. Five Hour Energy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/5-hour_Energy. there is a lack of information pertaining to reception, criticism, and opinions from medical professionals about 5 hour energy. I could also add information about their advertisements, involvement with charities and other topics about the company. Robert Arthur JR. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Arthur_Jr. there is a lack of information about the biography and life of Robert, also critical reception of his work. his experience with alfred hithcock is also notable, and more informaiton on his style of writing and critical reception. Big Tobacco https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Tobacco. there is a ton of information lacking here, including info about the companies that make big tobacco, the industry itself, the economics of big tobacco, advertisements, notable people and ceos and cultural references, which there are a lot of.
thanks!

Finding sandboxes[edit]
If you go to this page on the Dashboard you'll be able to find your classmates sandboxes. Under their usernames (the left column) there's a link to each person's sandboxes. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 16:47, 13 October 2016 (UTC)
November 2016[edit]
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be repeatedly reverting or undoing other editors' contributions at Bethesda, Maryland. Although this may seem necessary to protect your preferred version of a page, on Wikipedia this is known as "edit warring" and is usually seen as obstructing the normal editing process, as it often creates animosity between editors. Instead of reverting, please discuss the situation with the editor(s) involved and try to reach a consensus on the talk page.
If editors continue to revert to their preferred version they are likely to lose editing privileges. This isn't done to punish an editor, but to prevent the disruption caused by edit warring. In particular, editors should be aware of the three-revert rule, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount, and violating the three-revert rule is very likely to lead to a loss of editing privileges. Thank you.
