Hey there! Welcome to Wikipedia. Don't be discouraged your edit to Portal was reverted...It was a bit too in-depth. Just FYI, your talk page is where people are supposed to leave you messages, so the hidden comment <!-- Noone edit this page unless you message me first --> doesn't make much sense. The "About Me" section really belongs at User:Sneakkingsarge (your user page - which you'll have to create). Feel free to let me know if you have any further questions! xenocidic (talk) 17:09, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

I think the main reason they reverted the edit was because it was mostly original research and thus unverifiable. Regardless, I know how disheartening it is to have a piece of an article you worked hard on reverted without so much as a pat on the back. Anyhow, just some general advice, when making a new message on someone's talk page click the "+" at the top of the page and add a header, and don't forget to sign your posts with four tildes ( ~~~~~ ). Best of luck in the future and feel free to drop in if you ever need help or advice on anything! xenocidic (talk) 16:36, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
