April 2015[edit]
Welcome to Wikipedia. We welcome and appreciate your contributions, including your edits to Bloomington, Indiana, but we cannot accept original research. Original research refers to material—such as facts, allegations, and ideas—for which no reliable, published sources exist; it also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. Everything in Wikipedia must be verifiable to a published source. The fact that you know he lives in Bloomington is not sufficient. Provide a reference to a reliable source to show his residence. Sorry if you find that bothersome, but that's just how things are done here. I'll leave you some links to help you get started editing productively right after this.

| Thank you for registering! We hope that you find collaborative editing enjoyable. Wikipedia, an online encyclopedia that started in 2001, is free for all to use and edit within the guidelines and principles users have established and adhere to. Many of these principles and guidelines are listed below. Click on the link next to the images for more information. REMEMBER - each policy and/or guideline page has a discussion you can join to ask questions, add input and contribute your voice towards any current policy or guideline change underway! Join the discussion by going to the talkpage of the article. Please take a minute to view a number of quick start pages for an overview of how to work within these guidelines and more information to help you better understand the practices and procedures editors are using. These include: The Newcomers Manual and User:Persian Poet Gal/"How-To" Guide to Wikipedia.
Sometimes new editors become frustrated quickly and find their experience on Wikipedia less than enjoyable. This need not be. If you are having a difficult time for any reason, please feel free to ask me for assistance! Or, better yet, visit The Teahouse where veteran editors are waiting to assist you. | |||

in the editing interface tool box, located just above the editing window (when editing).

en dashes[edit]
Please read and understand MOS:DASH before removing en dashes and replacing them with hyphens. In the article Angelo Pizzo, there is no subtraction going on; spaced en dashes are used to separate items in a list, as described in the MoS. Chris the speller yack 22:00, 5 July 2020 (UTC)
- I must correct myself; hyphens were not involved. You removed en dashes and replaced them with em dashes. Still, the MoS says to use spaced en dashes to separate items in a list. You should follow the style set out in the MoS. Chris the speller yack 04:12, 6 July 2020 (UTC)
