Welcome![edit]
Hello, Kmwebber, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Adam 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.

Hi there![edit]
Hi Katie! I'm Brooke, a fellow member of your PJHC class! I just wanted to say hey and ask what kind of articles you are interested in editing. See you in class! Brookeenglish (talk) 04:55, 31 August 2016 (UTC)
Domestic violence in same-sex relationships[edit]
I saw your question on Adam's page and thought I'd check in with you. It looks to me like you've decided to go with Domestic violence in same-sex relationships. That looks good to me. Since there's an article already about domestic violence in lesbian relationships, I would suggest that you treat that article as a daughter article of the one you're writing - write this one knowing that that article exists, and use it as a place where your reader can find additional information. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 22:11, 4 October 2016 (UTC)

Please do not add navboxes and sidebars directly to pages. Check my fix here. Happy editing! -- Magioladitis (talk) 09:55, 30 October 2016 (UTC)

Hello, Kmwebber. I wanted to let you know that I’m proposing an article that you started, Acceptance Sydney, for deletion because I don't think it meets our criteria for inclusion. If you don't want the article deleted:
- edit the page
- remove the text that looks like this:
{{proposed deletion/dated...}} - save the page
Also, be sure to explain why you think the article should be kept in your edit summary or on the article's talk page. If you don't do so, it may be deleted later anyway.
You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions.
