Hello, I'm Bonadea. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to Maharlika have been undone because they did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the Help Desk.

Although your changes seem to be in good faith, you need to discuss such a major change of the focus of the article. Use the article talk page to discuss your proposed edits, and wait for a consensus in favour of your changes before you make them again. Thank you! bonadea contributions talk 08:51, 2 February 2018 (UTC)

You can also ask for input from other editors with an interest in articles about the Philippines, at Wikipedia talk:Tambayan Philippines. --bonadea contributions talk 08:54, 2 February 2018 (UTC)

Thank you Bonadea. I will do as you instruct. I appreciate you taking time to help me, and thank you for the links! I am willing to learn, forgive me in this learning curve. I seldom make entries but do promise to be less trouble. I can perhaps just stick to donating financially. I love Wikipedia! Thanks again!Yvonnedelavega (talk) 09:54, 2 February 2018 (UTC)

Hey, we all started out without knowing how this place works, and the learning curve can be a bit steep. Nothing to apologise for. I think the main things are to ask for advice when you're not sure, discuss any major changes with other editors, and remember that there are a lot of viewpoints here, but the ultimate goal is making the encyclopedia better. I'll add a welcome message with some more links below - there are many many guidelines and nobody knows all of them by heart, but some are more central than others, and it's good to be aware of those. --bonadea contributions talk 11:22, 2 February 2018 (UTC)
