Hi there. I just "reverted" your large contribution to arsenic pentoxide. It is probably fine, but edits of that magnitude typically require some sort of discussion about sources, what is in it. So leave a note at Talk:Arsenic pentoxide and discuss your intention. It is a very, very large contribution by our standards, and we typically do things more incrementally to obtain some consensus. Thanks, --Smokefoot (talk) 23:16, 30 March 2013 (UTC)


 * actually, that's not the case. The practice here is WP:BRD -- it is considered perfectly ok to boldly make such changes as you think individually think desirable, as long as the material is sourced, pertinent, and bit a copyright violation; it is also perfectly ok for someone to then revert the changes. But since nobody owns a page, no matter how long they have been working on it or how expert they are, what should then be done is to discuss the changes on the article talk page. I personally  consider it   rude to revert well-intentioned changes without starting such a discussion. Such a practice either starts fights, or scares away newcomers.


 * Please do not be scared away. We very badly need additional people to work on scientific and technical articles, and it is can be true that newcomers may have a better idea than those of us who have worked on something a long time. New insights are often helpful. Rather than discuss the changes here, I've started such a discussion on the article talk page. I've also notified the other editor, but there would be no purpose in arguing with them there.   DGG ( talk ) 00:29, 7 April 2013 (UTC)
