Welcome!

Hello, TylerManko, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Shalor 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.

Lords of Dogtown

Hi. I just wanted to explain why I reverted what you added to the Lords of Dogtown article.

Wikipedia doesn't contain what we call original research. When you write something that is purely your own thoughts and opinions on a movie, like you would if you were writing an essay for school, then you are creating original research. Wikipedia needs instead the opinions and thoughts of a reliable source, which is properly cited. That way the reader knows that what they are reading is accurate and verifiable. If you can find what you added as the thoughts of an authoratative reliable source, then please add them again, but this time citing and attributing them to the source.

Thanks. --Escape Orbit ^(Talk) 18:39, 23 February 2019 (UTC)
