Welcome to Wikipedia. I've added a welcome message to the top of this page that gives a great deal of information about Wikipedia. I hope you find it useful.

Additionally, I hope you don't mind if I share some of my thoughts on starting out as a new editor on Wikipedia: If I could get editors in your situation to follow just one piece of advice, it would be this: Learn Wikipedia by working only on non-contentious topics until you have a feel for the normal editing process and the policies that usually come up when editing casually. You'll find editing to be fun, easy, and rewarding. The rare disputes are resolved quickly and easily.

Working on biographical information about living persons is far more difficult. Wikipedia's Biographies of living persons policy requires strict adherence to multiple content policies, and applies to all information about living persons including talk pages.

If you have a relationship with the topics you want to edit, then you will need to review Wikipedia's Conflict of interest policy, which may require you to disclose your relationship and restrict your editing depending upon how you are affiliated with the subject matter. Regardless, editing in a manner that promotes an entity or viewpoint over others can appear to be detrimental to the purpose of Wikipedia and the neutrality required in articles.

Some topic areas within Wikipedia have special editing restrictions that apply to all editors. It's best to avoid these topics until you are extremely familiar with all relevant policies and guidelines.

If you work from reliable, independent sources, you shouldn't go far wrong. WP:RSP and WP:RSN are helpful in determining if a source is reliable.

I hope you find some useful information in all this, and welcome again. --Hipal/Ronz (talk) 15:11, 9 September 2020 (UTC)Reply

Hi Hipal

Thank you for your comment. I've been editing in wikipedia in 3 different languages for a few years already. Unfortunately my job doesn't give the time I'd like to expend editing but I do know how WP works. As for the warning about conflictive articles, thanks once again. I have some experience in that matter also and it also happens that Kiki Camarena case got my attention 15 years ago and I have read a lot about this chapter and many others of the WoD in Mexico and USA, both in English and Spanish, so really, don't worry, I'll handle it. One last thing: please, before reverting an edition and instead of letting a default comment in my talk, better participate in the talk of the article in order to discuss the best options.
