Hello and welcome
Hello, Purefedora, and welcome to wikipedia.

Thanks for contributing to wikipedia. Just a few thoughts about your recent changes to Field hockey at the 2012 Summer Olympics – Men's team squads. I have reverted those changes, but don't be discouraged by that, and please don't take offense. We all have our changes scrutinized by other editors, and it's very common that one's additions are altered, or even deleted, by other editors. We all have to put up with that. If we don't agree, we ideally go to the talkpage of the article and discuss the matter. See BOLD, revert, discuss cycle.

We don't normally wikilink to common words, such as team, tournament and player, unless it's relevant in the context. In this context, readers are supposed to know what a team, a player, and a tournament is, and therefore, the wikilinks are unneccesary; they're even to be avoided, according to the manual of style for linking.

We also don't capitalize words that aren't proper nouns, such as "men's", unless they are the first word in a sentence.

Otherwise, keep up your good work, and happy editing.

Cheers.
