Welcome
Hello, Kaitlinsusan. Welcome to Wikipedia. I want you to know why I reverted the changes you made to Wyman-Gordon. In your edit summary, you said "Took out part of page that does not represent Wyman-Gordon in the most positive light possible--there does not need to be information regarding past complications in the industry--it is more relevant to have a brief history, recent years, & product info." Please remember that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a bulletin board for posting of corporate brochures. As such, articles about companies should include company history, not just upbeat information about the current business.

In accordance with our policy on verifiability of content, article content is supposed to be supported by reference citations to published reliably sources, particularly sources independent of the article subject. The content you removed was appropriately sourced, while the content you added was not supported by citations and some of it had content and style that reads like corporate PR. Note that Wyman-Gordon is a bit unusual for a Wikipedia article about a company in that it has a well-developed history section; it often is difficult to find so much good information about a company. Ideally, more company articles would have that kind of content.

The material you added is still available in the article history at this link -- it's not lost! The content you added seems worthwhile, so I encourage you to re-add it, but with reference citations so that encyclopedia users can tell where the information comes from. See WP:Citing sources for information on adding citations (or copy formatting from the citations already in the article). Contact me on my talk page (User talk:Orlady) if you have questions. Again, welcome!

PS - Below this, I'm going to post one of our standard welcome messages with lots of links to help you figure out the bewildering world of Wikipedia. --Orlady (talk) 19:16, 28 February 2013 (UTC)
