Welcome
Hello, Quixotequest, 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.

If you are stuck and looking for help, please see the guide for citing sources or 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) 15:42, 18 February 2010 (UTC)

Hi Quixotequest. A lot of inexperienced users don't quite understand how Wikipedia works. This is an encyclopedia based not on our own ideas, as an essay might be, but on what reliable and verifiable sources have to say about a subject. We have our own definitions of those words, see WP:RS and WP:Verify. Your additions to the above article were what we call 'original research' (see WP:RS and I've reverted them. If you can find sources that meet our criteria, then go ahead and add a modified version. Dougweller (talk) 15:44, 18 February 2010 (UTC)
