Hi.

Please look carefully at what you change.

Now, this is supposed to be friendly message, but I am obliged to warn that if continuous changes without a reliable source continue, I might have to request a lock down on the page.

 * Hi Wanscr. To echo what Codename Lisa wrote above, you have to cite a reliable source when adding a significant amount of new information. In addition, Wikipedia articles typically do not contain sentences written in the first person (i.e. "We fixed..."). Who is "we?" So many different people edit Wikipedia that is impossible for the reader to understand who "we" refers to, hence the first person should not be used when writing articles.

Hey! I have removed the "we fixed" now from previous posts also - that's how Microsoft posts it in their blog - but as you rightly say not adequate for Wikipedia plus I cited the appropriate reference for the posted information

kind regards, wanscr
