Welcome!
Hello, CommonKnowledgeCreator, and welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate encyclopedic contributions, but some of your recent contributions, such as your edit to the page Scotch-Irish Americans, have removed content without an explanation. If you'd like to experiment with the wiki's syntax, please do so in the sandbox rather than in articles.
If you still have questions, there is a new contributors' help page, or you can and someone will be along to answer it shortly. You may also find the following pages useful for a general introduction to Wikipedia:

@BilCat: Thanks for the welcome message. I do not think I am attempting to experiment with the wiki's syntax (I'm not entirely sure what that even means). I was attempting to correct a factual error in an article summary section. (The terminology section of the Scotch-Irish Americans article does not state that the Scotch-Irish are only descended from Ulster Scots and Anglo-Irish Protestant Dissenters but from Ulster Protestants more generally, as the Protestants who migrated to Ulster were also French Huguenots, German Palatines, as well as Protestant refugees from Flanders.) I don't want to revert and create an edit war; I just want to correct the information in the summary of the article as stated in the later section of the article itself. - CommonKnowledgeCreator (talk) 05:39, 8 April 2019 (UTC)
