Gretchen Bleiler
Hi Amy, I would like to welcome you to Wikipedia. Good to see that you would like to contribute as well. I saw your edits on Gretchen Bleiler's article and reverted them three times now and as you keep reverting me I think it's time for a clarification. First of all by adding your information you are deleting other information that is part of the current article, inclusive the intro and lay-out. This is normally not done on Wikipedia. I know everybody is allowed to edit, but there are still some small rules every user should have in mind or it will result in reverting your edits. Another point I'd like to clear up is the information you are adding looks likely to be coming from another website and cut and pasted into the article by you. This is not how Wikipedia works. You can add the information from another website and have the other site as a referrence. Don't copy and paste the information, but rewrite it in your own style into the article until all necessary information is available and without deleting current content. Thank you very much, SportsAddicted | discuss  00:47, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Hi Amy, well I would say nice to meet you, it's always nice to get in contact with people who are closer to the athlete than I am myself. Lets create a good article on her and add the information you got for us. Try to talk in a formal way used in encyclopedias and you will be fine. I will check your edits and I will make changes where needed. We can discuss whenever we think it is needed as well. Maybe you can also ask Gretchen to provide us one or more pictures which are free to use for anyone, so we can add them into the article and make it even better looking. Thanks for your comments, SportsAddicted | discuss  15:52, 20 December 2006 (UTC)
 * As you can see now I copy-edited your additions. I did not delete anything, I just wikified it and moved some information to somewhere else and found some reliable sources to keep everything in Wikipedia's rules and to keep all content in the article.
