Hi Geomonjohn

Welcome to Wikipedia - I hope you stay around. Your enthusiasm for Anglesey and its Geopark comes across in your editing which is great to a point but please remember that Wikipedia (WP) is not a travel guide or promotional site for Anglesey any more than it is for any other location or topic, but it is an encyclopedia - a summary of knowledge. All statements in Wikipedia, beyond the most straightforward, should be backed up by references taken either from the web (but not for example blogs, since these, being self-published are not sources that are controlled for quality or accuracy) or from reputable 'traditional' published sources. You are likely to find that some of the material you have added will be reverted by other editors, keen to ensure that the rules which have been established to enable WP to work, are adhered to. Avoid personal opinions - describing something as 'amazing', for example, is fine with friends (yes, Anglesey's geology is extraordinarily complex and interesting, amazing even - we can say that here in a talk page) but is to be avoided in WP - an exception might be if it was within a referenced quote that is particularly relevant and noteworthy.

Equally, try not to take it personally if some of your contributions do get 'knocked about a bit', it happens to all editors though can be most frequent when you are still finding your feet as an editor. There is plenty of guidance in Wikipedia for editors on just about every conceivable topic (more than enough very often and it can be confusing to navigate at time), but use the Teahouse mentioned in the welcome message above - there are plenty of established editors who are willing to assist new editors find their way around.
