Genetically modified crops
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. I apologize that I am welcoming you just after having reverted your edit, and I realize that you made the edit in very good faith, but I feel the need to explain some issues to you. GMOs are a very contentious editing topic on Wikipedia! Consequently, you are not permitted to make more than 1 revert to any article about GMOs within a 24 hour period, and you have already made one such revert. So I want to make sure that you know that you must not revert again, or an administrator might block you from editing. Sorry for all that bad news, but I would not want you to get caught unawares.

Wikipedia has very particular rules about source material, and these rules are particularly significant on GMO-related pages. The source you added was a university announcement of a forthcoming publication, and Wikipedia needs us to wait until the publication is actually published. That's why the other editor and I reverted you. In fact, however, I am very pleased to see a new editor who is approaching the GM subject from a scholarly perspective instead of propagandizing against GMOs! So, again, I apologize for the nature of my message, and I sincerely welcome you to editing.

You should feel free to discuss these matters at Talk:Genetically modified crops. --Tryptofish (talk) 17:46, 13 March 2016 (UTC)

Hi, I appreciate your heads up. Will be more careful in future to cite published material only.
