Thank you
Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your recent edit to Mary I of Scotland reverting vandalism. If I may, can I give you a couple of pointers? You picked up most of the references to chicken pox, but there were a couple missing - here's a few hints to help you in the future. Firstly, at the top of every page there should be a "history" tab - clicking on it will give you something like this showing the history of the article, with the most recent edits at the top. In this case, all of the "chicken pox" stuff came from one edit by Reinbow1234 - to the left of their edit in the list, if you click on the word "last" it shows you their edit compared against the article as it stood after the previous edit, so this shows you the "difference" (or "diff") between the two articles. The easy way to undo their edit is to either click on "undo" at the top of the right hand side of the "diff" screen, or alongside their edit in the history, then save the undone version.

A bit confusing, but play around with it a bit in the sandbox (a testing ground where you can play with things without fear of breaking them) and you should get the hand of it. Alternatively, why not try undoing the last edit to my user page and then undoing your undo - the great thing about Wikipedia is that everything can be undone, so nothing's ever lost.

Any questions, feel free to leave a message below here or on my talk page. GbT/c 18:30, 25 October 2008 (UTC)

Many thanks for the advice. It's the first time I have attempted to edit anything, so I shall follow your advice and be more prepared if I should find something like it again. JacquiSlade (talk) 19:13, 27 October 2008 (UTC)
