  • Don't be afraid to edit! Just find something that can be improved and make it better. Other editors will help fix any mistakes you make.
  • It's normal to feel a little overwhelmed, but don't worry if you don't understand everything at first—it's fine to edit using common sense.
  • If an edit you make is reverted, you can discuss the issue at the article's talk page. Be civil, and don't restore the edit unless there is consensus.
  • Always use edit summaries to explain your changes.
  • When adding new content to an article, always include a citation to a reliable source.
  • If you wish to edit about a subject with which you are affiliated, read our conflict of interest guide and disclose your connection.
  • Have fun! Your presence in the Wikipedia community is welcome.

Hi Diannaa, Thanks for your help - I'm new to wikipedia editing and still trying to figure things out. I think I understand what happened....I pulled information from a recent press release to update Facilities....so, since the verbiage was so similar to the press release, I needed to add double quotation marks? I guess I thought a citation sufficed. I won't touch it until I hear back! I don't want to interfere with the protocol or jeopardize my account in any way! Appreciate your time on this....Phillyrox Phillyrox (talk) 12:10, 17 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
Content you add to Wikipedia should be written in your own words. Adding quotation marks is not a good substitute for writing your own content. We're not interested in hosting material copied from press releases either. — Diannaa (talk) 13:07, 17 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
Apologize for my delayed response, but thank you! I think I'll leave it alone for now since the only source I really have is the press release. Phillyrox (talk) 16:26, 4 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
