Welcome
Welcome to Wikipedia, Alxrnz2. I hope you have fun editing with us. Unfortunately, you'll notice that I and a few oher editors ended up removing the majority of the hard work you did for us just recently. In general, the changes you made to the articles you edited were of two types.

Firstly, you added quite a number of wikilinks to the "See also" section of several articles. Just so you know, wikilinks in that section should be directly related to the article's subject and should not already be in the body of the article. So, for example, putting links to Fire Island, New York on a bunch of pages about fishing and fish species isn't really appropriate. Similarly, if an article already contains a link to "Fire Island, New York", adding another to the "See also" section is not appropriate.

Secondly, you added some new "Fishing" sections to a couple of articles. There's nothing wrong with that on its face. However, things we add to the encyclopedia must be verifiable and must be written from a neutral point of view. So, for example, saying that the fishing at a certain location is "great" is wholly inappropriate unless you can find a reliable source which says precisely that; then you can quote that source within the article. The test for inclusion of material is not whether it's true but whether we can find sources to support what we write.

Finally, if there's anything I can do for you, please feel free to drop me a note at the bottom of my talk page. Alternatively, you can just add a template just like this:   here, on your page, and another editor will come by to answer any questions you may have. Once again, welcome. &mdash; Dave (Talk | contribs) 07:36, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
