Welcome!

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:

• The five pillars of Wikipedia
• Contributing to Wikipedia
• How to edit a page
• Editing tutorial
• Picture tutorial
• How to write a great article
• Naming conventions
• Simplified Manual of Style

Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:

• Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
• Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
• Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
• No edit warring or abuse of multiple accounts.
• If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.
• Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
• Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome!

Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Simcha Eichenstein, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear to be constructive and has been reverted. If you only meant to make a test edit, please use the sandbox for that. Thank you.

Reply on neutrality

Hi there, thanks for your contributions. Replying to both places as the conversation is a little bit hard to follow, it's best to have them in one place, and its further muddied as your edits on David Greenfield were the ones I reverted wholesale, but your subject line in your talk page post to me was "Simcha", but the edits you made to Simcha Eichenstein I did not undo (except for restoring a ref). But yes, on the whole, it is advisable to tread more lightly on potential neutrality concerns or seeming conflicts, especially regarding political figures who, as a class, tend to garner those with non-neutral interests to their pages. There's some links above on your talk page about how to best edit BLPs and other sensitive areas. One bit that might get people's attention for potential COI concern is referring to subjects by their first name, especially when they're not overwhelmingly known as such. Hope this helps and you find further contributions to make, local government articles can always stand to be improved! Cheers, JesseRafe (talk) 21:10, 9 September 2019 (UTC)
