Discovery of the Americas

As you may have noticed your edit on the Discovery of the Americas article has been reverted. This was as it wasn't in accordance with the article: i.e. because it featured non-referenced speculative information about some random pre-Columbian trans-Oceanic contact theories. But as an apparently new user it is OK to try out editing and such. I advice you to check the introduction-links provided above here. But I do hope you continue to make edits later on! Take care, Gabagool (talk) 23:58, 20 April 2009 (UTC)

Everything! you wrote (and MUCH! more) can already be found here: Pre-Columbian trans-oceanic contact!!! Don't add it to an article where it does not belong! You need to learn more about Wikipedia BASIC, you don't even know how to sign you posts on talk pages. And the information you are adding is both poorly written, completly just some fragmental and random pre-Columbian contact theories. If you can't understand this then I'm sorry. -GabaG (talk) 00:56, 21 April 2009 (UTC)

If information is useful in both places, it is not bad to have it in both places. It does not "not belong" here. This information is about who discovered America, and the article is Discovery of America. I don't see why my content should not belong there even if it also belongs elsewhere, such as in the Pre-Columbian trans-oceanic contact article. Arthro64 (talk) 02:18, 21 April 2009 (UTC)

3rr warning

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Discovery of the Americas. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. If necessary, pursue dispute resolution. — Athaenara ✉ 00:53, 21 April 2009 (UTC)
