User talk:Pyroan

Welcome
Hey. Welcome to Wikipedia. I saw your edit to the National Novel Writing Month article and thought it was a useful edit. Another user, however, rightly thought that it should be referenced. Now sometimes if you don't reference something your edit will be just ignored or left alone; that is the worst outcome. Sometimes another editor will put a citation needed note next to your edit; this is a good outcome, just add a citation and you're good to go. Sometimes your edit will just be reverted; believe it or not this is also a good outcome, it is just sometimes disappointing to new editors. When this happens it does not mean that your edits are not welcome. You are welcome and encouraged to put your edit back up, preferably with a reference. The beautiful thing about Wikipedia is that changes can be made all the time with ease. So when one of our edits if reverted, don't take it personally. Just try to figure out why your edit was reverted and either fix it if it needs to be fixed, or discuss with the editor that reverted your edit why you think your edit should be there. It is not a perfect process, but it works pretty darn well. I myself am a rather new editor, but if you need help feel free to ask me or someone else. Most of the editors are friendly, and the editor that reverted your edit is both friendly and a heck of a lot more experienced than I am. Anyway, I put your edit back up with a reference after it was taken down. Best wishes, Fl1n7 (talk) 21:18, 3 March 2010 (UTC)
