''I found your account after your edit on the FHS page. I regret having to tell you, but I'm afraid I reverted your first edit. :-( A while back there was some discussion about a claim that  stood for "Unix System Resources", but it turns out that there were no reliable source for anything similar. I hope you won't take this as a mean gesture but rather embrace it as a constructive lesson in how Wikipedia editors interact.''

''For the purpose of discussing article contents and ironing out disagreements, every article has a Talk Page (click the "discussion" tab at the top). Were you, for example, to go to the FHS talk page you would find that there has been a debate on the etymologies of,   and even. Please, if you are convinced of the validity of your edit, I ask that you argue your case there. I think most of us will prove to be a reasonable bunch.''

''Again, welcome to Wikipedia. I hope you will have a good time contributing to the project.''

Discussion formatting
Thanks for your link and comment on the  issue. Regarding the formatting of your comment, you might want to have a look at Help:Talk_page for formatting guidelines.

Also, it is a good practice to add your comment at the bottom of a discussion if not in direct reply to one higher up. Signing with four tildas, ~ also adds a timestamp so people can see when the comment was made.

Finally you might want to consider putting the signature after the entire comment. If discussion on your comment continues, it might become ambiguous who it was that added the link (since it follows the signature). --Swift 20:39, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
