[edit] My Edits Are Gone IMMEDIATELY!

Hey Electric Eye, thanks for the welcome. I signed up last night, made some major changes to Digital Pianos and Pianos section, and now they are all gone.

I figured it was an error because I just activated my account, so I re-put them back.

Any advice -- they didn't violate rules I don't think?

Hi STV0726. Yes I see what happened. You didn't violate any rules. What happened was a member, who patrols recent changes, removed your edits because he saw that you were a new user making changes without citing references. I looked at your edits and they seem alright to me. If others continue to challenge your changes, you may have to give them a reference to show that your contribution is correct. Let me know if you need help with referencing if it comes to that. --ElectricEye 18:39, 16 April 2006 (UTC)


Okay Thanks. I don't feel good about that however -- my source is owning a Yamaha digital piano, and having played on a Kawai let alone been to their website many times.

I don't quite understand the source siting method.

Referencing is easy. After a sentence add this <ref>NAME OF REFERENCE, AUTHOR, DATE, ETC</ref>. Put in the name of the reference, etc. Then at the bottom of the article make a section ==Notes== and on the line under it put <references/>. Let me know if you need help with this. --User:ElectricEye (talk) 14:52, 20 April 2006 (UTC)
Take a look at Guqin and you'll see how it's being done. --User:ElectricEye (talk) 14:54, 20 April 2006 (UTC)
