Your contributions really are welcome
I see you started out making a legitimate contribution, which was reverted as it was not sourced. Rather than seeing you banned, I would like to help you source your contributions so they can remain. Take a moment, cool off, and if I can help I would be glad to do so. Sea photo Talk 06:17, 16 May 2011 (UTC)
 * I just got your email,but would prefer to discuss it here. It may seem odd, but the standard for inclusion in Wikipedia is verifiability not truth.  Now, that may seem counter intuitive, but if you think about if people were allowed to put information in just because they say it is true, the value of the encyclopedia would soon become worthless.  Do I think your contribution falls into the category?  No.  But any statement that is made by an editor can be challenged and removed if a source is not provided.   While hot dog variations are relatively unimportant, a statement about, to use an extreme example, the effectiveness of cancer treatments is, which is why we have this standard. While you know your information to be true, so do thousands of other contributors on a wide range of topics.  It would be very hard to sort it out without a system of verification.  I hope you will consider this. Regards,  Sea photo Talk  06:34, 16 May 2011 (UTC)
