Eel life history

Thank you for your recent additions to Eel life history. However, you have not provided a single citation. A key policy on Wikipedia is that new additions should not give the appearance of original research, but should be verified with reliable sources. As it stands, your additions have little encyclopedic value, and are likely to be deleted. Regards. --Epipelagic (talk) 07:11, 18 November 2014 (UTC)

I reverted your edits to the eel life history article because there are too many problems with it. The formatting is bad - there were hard returns at the end of each line, probably due to cutting and pasting from a word processor or text editor. Your references weren't formatted correctly, which further broke parts of the page. And somewhere in there you added a signature, which doesn't belong in Wikipedia articles, only in talk page comments. It wasn't that your additions to the page were bad, it's just that the way you added them broke the page formatting, making parts of it unreadable. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 13:28, 19 November 2014 (UTC)
