Raining animals
Welcome from me as well, and thank you for your addition to the article on Raining animals, but I am afraid I have had to revert it. What you have to say about the tadpoles appearing in your pool is very interesting, but your account of it is not appropriate for a Wikipedia article. To understand why, you might want to read the article on No Original Research, which includes the sentence: "This means that Wikipedia is not the place to publish your own opinions, experiences, or arguments." Everything on Wikipedia should be verifiable from published sources, not based on personal observation. Grafen (talk) 22:00, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
