Hello, Curlywurly1, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of your edits to the page Peterborough have not conformed to Wikipedia's verifiability policy, and have been reverted. Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations that have been stated in print or on reputable websites or other forms of media. Always remember to provide a reliable source for quotations and for any material that is likely to be challenged, or it may be removed. Wikipedia also has a related policy against including original research in articles.

Peterborough pagans

Hello Curlywurly1, I honestly don't think you need to worry about anyone here objecting to the mention of a pagan community existing in Peterborough, or that they are deleting your edits because of any religious bias - the problem seems to me to be that anything written in Wikipedia needs to be verifiable, and the things that you have added to the Peterborough article may well be true, but you haven't said anything that makes them verifiable. Have another look through the information box above here, particularly at the bit about the Five Pillars of Wikipedia - it's there to help you! Talking of which, hopefully somebody will offer a helpful response to your comment on the Peterborough talk page, but in the meantime, there is something else you can do, which is also suggested above: if you start a new section here on your talk page, type {{helpme}}, and then write something about how you want to add something to the Peterborough article about local pagans, why does it keep getting deleted, and someone will be along pretty soon to help you, possibly within just a few minutes!

Above all, don't think for one moment everyone is against you, or against what you are trying to do! You may already know this, but Wikipedia already has plenty of materials about paganism, for example the article "Neopaganism". I hope that helps - I know nothing about paganism, I just thought you looked like you could use some help! Cheers. Nortonius (talk) 00:10, 13 July 2010 (UTC)
