Hi Jerod,
Sorry if I've seemed arbitrary in my discussions with you. As you may know, Wikipedia has a big problem with [vandalism], especially by anonymous users. When you readded the "Controversies" section without discussion, I assumed that this was silly vandalism, and started acting accordingly. If I have been mistaken from the start, my apologies. I take your creation of a username as a sign that you are interested in contributing positively to Wikipedia, so welcome! Here are a few good links for newcomers:
- The five pillars of Wikipedia
- How to edit a page
- Help pages
- Tutorial
- How to write a great article
- The Manual of Style
Some other hints and tips:
- Since you have created a username, you have the privilege of customizing your own user page, which is here. You can also tell us more about yourself at Wikipedia:New user log.}}}
- When using talk pages, please sign your name at the end of your messages by typing four tildes (~~~~). This will automatically produce your username(or IP address) and the date.
If you have any questions, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions.
In regards to Corn nut: the problem is not the factual accuracy of the information, it's the relevancy. Few people care about UC Berkeley's snack policy. If there is a real controversy, there will be news articles or blogs related to it. Until then, I think it is better to present only the information that most people would want to see when they look up corn nut.
Thanks again for contributing to Wikipedia. I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian.
