Welcome
Hello, Martinlightfoot, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of your edits have not conformed to Wikipedia's verifiability policy, and have been reverted. Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations that have been stated in print or on reputable websites or other forms of media. Always remember to provide a reliable source for quotations and for any material that is likely to be challenged, or it may be removed. Wikipedia also has a related policy against including original research in articles.

There is a page about the verifiability policy that explains the policy in greater detail, and another that offers tips on the proper ways of citing sources. If you are stuck and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type   on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers: I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, check out Where to ask a question or ask me on. Again, welcome! Dougweller (talk) 10:21, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

Your recent edit
I don't know if you know how to read edit summaries, but I've provided one exlaining why I reverted it. First, who is 'we'? This is an encyclopedia reporting what reliable and verifable sources have to say, and you wouldn't expect an encyclopedia to say 'we'. Secondly, it wasn't WP:Verifiable. Please read that link. And thirdly, it looked like original research, please read WP:OR. Thanks. Dougweller (talk) 10:25, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. We welcome and appreciate your contributions, but we cannot accept original research. Original research also encompasses novel, unpublished syntheses of previously published material. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your information. ''This is actually your third attempt to add this. Additionally, this time you labelled it as a Minor edit although it clearly was anything but minor. Please stop.''

Please stop. If you continue to violate Wikipedia's no original research policy by adding your personal analysis or synthesis into articles, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. ''some of this seems to come from - it isn't properly referenced, it is clearly POV, and who is the 'we' in "we doubt it." Wikipedia doesn't 'doubt'.'' Dougweller (talk) 13:06, 24 June 2009 (UTC)
