Third Day Edits
Just wanted to let you know that all the stuff you put in on Third Day was good info! However, this much detail is not really meant to be in the opening paragraph which talks in general terms about the subject. Since all the info is already in the article body, I did a revert to the original version. I just wanted to make sure you knew I wasn't dismissing your inputs or maliciously reverting good stuff you put in. I've been doing this long enough, and had it done enough to me, that I'd want to know that.Ckruschke (talk) 18:42, 16 February 2011 (UTC)Ckruschke

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, but when you add or change content, please cite a reliable source for the content of your edit. This helps maintain our policy of verifiability. See Citing sources for how to cite sources, and the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you.

 * Please do not remove tags from an article, as you did here without also addressing the problems associated with the tags. I notice that your edit summary gives a potential source for the information, but that is not visible to Wikipedia viewers.  See citing sources for how to properly cite a source.  See also reliable sources, which the FAQ probably is.  Thanks.  —EncMstr (talk) 18:26, 17 February 2011 (UTC)


 * Note that I originally removed the section, which I don't think is encyclopedic. Maybe a sentence or two could be salvaged. Rumbleranch then reverted my edits. I'm going to assume good faith here that this was a new user misunderstanding (some folks don't know why their material has "disappeared" or "didn't stick"), rather than the first salvo in an Edit War. (See Help:Page history to learn where to look to find out why things might have been changed and by whom.) Since I didn't have time to rewrite the material and didn't want to edit war myself, I resorted to tagging the section instead. Rumbleranch, please read about WP:NPOV and WP:OR. I haven't checked the external link that Rumbleranch attempted to add in the refs section (see WP:CITE for how to format citations) to see if the claims made in the article are backed up by the information on the linked page. If they are, I apologize, but I also think the material needs to be rewritten. Wikipedia is not a soapbox. Valfontis (talk) 20:25, 17 February 2011 (UTC)
