Getting reverted
Hi there.

I see that you have had your first few edits reverted, which can be rather discouraging, but please don't worry or give up. I have had a look at your edits and it doesn't look to me like you were messing around deliberately. For example, I am guessing you were using the word "alien" in its original sense of "outsider" and this was misunderstood as meaning extraterrestrial. It is better to be specific so reverting it to "Saxons" was the right thing to do. As for the bit about the "top end" shops, that was a slightly daft sentence to start with so it is not hard to see how that could somebody astray. Wikipedia is not a business directory and we don't really want big lists of shops in this type of article. Quite apart from anything else they can cause confusion when people don't know how big they should be or what is and isn't valid for inclusion. I have snipped out the "top end" description as it was just silly.

Anyway, don't worry. This sort of thing can happen to some new users and maybe you have just been unlucky. The links in the welcome message above should help you to put this behind you and get into the swing of things. Hope this helps.
