Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but your recent edit removed content from Chadron State College with this edit. When removing content, please specify a reason in the edit summary and discuss edits that are likely to be controversial on the article's talk page. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the content has been restored, as you can see from the [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Chadron_State_College&action=history page history]. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia, and if you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you.

Greetings
Hello Runa75! I see that you've just opened your account, and tried a couple of edits on Chadron State College. Unfortunately, they don't seem to have worked as well as you might have hoped; you wound up removing an illustration, and leaving nothing in its place. I've reverted them, so the page is now in the condition it was in before you edited it.

It's a good idea to experiment with editing, but you shouldn't do it on actual articles. One place you can experiment without having to worry about the consequences is Sandbox. That's set up expressly so that people can play around with the markup language and templates and the like, without fear of damaging articles. You can also edit your user page (click on the red "Runa75" at the top of the page and edit away), or this talk page. If you're trying to make an edit on an actual article, it's a good idea to click "Show preview" to see how it turned out before you actually click "Save page".

I assume that you wouldn't have started on Chadron State College if you didn't have an interest in Nebraska. I hope that you'll stick around and work on Nebraska-related articles; there are too few editors working on the state.

Please feel free to drop me a line if you've got any questions about editing, policies, or anything else WP-related; I'll be glad to give you what help I can. To reach me, click the "talk" after my user name, then edit that page. I'd recommend that you start a new section, which you can do by clicking the "New section" at the upper part of the page.

Good luck, and hope you enjoy editing--

 * Oh, and: If you're editing a page, you should put a brief description of what you did in the box labelled "Edit summary", right above the "Save page" button. That tells other editors what you did, and lets them know whether they want to check up on your edit.  People who vandalize pages generally don't leave an edit summary, so the absence of one is a red flag to editors who're watching the page.  Ammodramus (talk) 04:08, 8 December 2011 (UTC)
