I am a consultant and have been doing some paid editing on Wikipedia and am looking to learn how to do that openly, honestly, transparently, and well within the guidelines set forth by Wikipedia and the Wikipedia community. Also, here's a quote I love: "I have loved. And been loved. And all the rest is background music." -- Estelle Ramey

I love editing and learning in any form! I was recently introduced to Wiki editing by a friend. I am very new, but anxious to learn all of the pieces and parts to Wiki editing. It is always exciting to learn something new.

I am currently unemployed, soon going to be an electrical engineer. I like to edit and study using Wikipedia and some other websites (I do not edit in those websites.).
In my opinion, a group of articles on languages on Wikipedia became rather politicised. The information provided there surprises me as a speaker of one of those languages and contradicts other sources, such as Encyclopedia Britannica. Without altering any of the existing information, I tried to add a section on this particular aspect, on the political context, accuracy and scientific validity of the information presented on Wikipedia. My section was removed twice from four separate articles. In both cases it happened within seconds or minutes of me posting it. No explanation whatsoever was given about the reasons. None of the people who removed my post seem to have any relevant expertise in the subject. Plus, I tick "Watch this page" box, and I am not notified in any way, when my post is edited (removed, in other words). When I tried to reinstate my section, I was warned by Wikipedia that I may be blocked. Has anyone any ideas on the best options available to me?
