Your edits to Hearst papyrus
Thank you for your changes to Hearst papyrus. However, they appear to be detrimental to the article, so they have been reverted.

The main issue is that your edits removed references (footnotes) citing sources in the article. Verifiability is one of the key principles of Wikipedia; articles must be based on reliable sources. References are the best way to show the sources. Additionally, the references in the article cite independent sources; your claims are based on the book itself, a primary source.

Secondarily, there were capitalization and grammar issues in your edit.

If you need to demonstrate that you made an edit for class, you may direct your instructor to http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Hearst_papyrus&diff=393362550&oldid=391268432. That link shows the changes you made to the article. —C.Fred (talk) 05:13, 28 October 2010 (UTC)
