Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:
 * Welcome!
 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * How to edit a page
 * Editing tutorial
 * Picture tutorial
 * How to write a great article
 * Naming conventions
 * Simplified Manual of Style


 * Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:
 * Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
 * Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
 * Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
 * No edit warring or sock puppetry.
 * If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to [ do so].
 * Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject. Deliberately adding such content or otherwise editing articles maliciously is considered vandalism; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
 * Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome! Reify-tech (talk) 12:57, 20 May 2013 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Reify-tech. I noticed that you recently removed some content from 1964 New York World's Fair without explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry: I restored the removed content. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks! Reify-tech (talk) 12:58, 20 May 2013 (UTC)

Thank you for explaining your deletion, it appears that you were right in removing the incorrect statement. If you could add an appropriate correction to the article 1964 New York World's Fair explaining this, plus a footnote reference, it would be much appreciated. Don't worry if you haven't added references to Wikipedia before, look at other existing ones to get an idea of what it should look like. Also, if you click on the "Template" dropdown box in an editing window, you should see "Cite web" as an option. Selecting it gets you a form to fill out, either by typing or by cut-and-paste. I have left this undone in favor of letting you do it as a simple exercise in Wikipedia editing. If you are reluctant to do this on your own, don't worry. I will help you if needed. I hope you can continue to make positive contributions to Wikipedia, and will soon become adept at editing. Best wishes, Reify-tech (talk) 19:05, 20 May 2013 (UTC)
