Hey there, YoungLion24, and welcome to our great encyclopedia, which currently has more than 2,337,311 articles! Even with this large number, all of your contributions are important (including the small ones), and I hope you like the place and decide to stay! Here's a few starting tips for you:
- You might want to check out the welcome page.
- Then you can have a look at our guidelines.
- After that, you can see here for a cheatsheet on editing pages (for a bigger list, see here).
After reading all this (or even just glimpsing at it), I can understand that you might feel apprehensive about editing and contributing articles, for fear of making a mistake. But don't worry too much about mistakes; after all, you're new. Instead, everyone here encourages you to be bold! If you need help with anything, feel free to leave me a message, or you can put {{helpme}} on your talk page, and someone will show up shortly to give you a hand.
One last thing: when leaving a message on someone's talk page, don't forget to put four "tildes" (~~~~) to automatically sign your name.

Speedy deletion of Image:0502.JPG edit
A tag has been placed on Image:0502.JPG requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section I1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image is redundant copy (all pixels the same or scaled down) of an image in the same file format, which is on Wikipedia (not on Commons), and all inward links have been updated.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on [[ Talk:Image:0502.JPG|the talk page]] explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Petraeus edit edit
I don't know if you're still alive, since you haven't edited in eight years and you only spent about six months editing. Looking at your edits, I'm guessing that you might have been doing a bio of Petraeus.
However, this has just come up.
An editor "Devoted(no space)American" removed your reference to Peter Galbraith being in the employ of the Kurdish government. The edit stood without challenge for years, but DA removed it. He or she has never posted to any other article in a manner that was not favorable or neutral to a Gailbraith family member.
DA's posts have come to recent attention because Peter is running for governor in VT, and a Wikipedia editor noticed it.
Here's the story: http://vtdigger.org/2016/06/09/devotedamerican-sounds-like-a-politicians-best-friend/ Activist (talk) 22:20, 15 June 2016 (UTC)
Ah, your "Kurdish" edit was on April 16, 2008, at 4:00 a.m. UTC. https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=David_Petraeus&diff=next&oldid=205945872
