Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, talk pages are meant to be a record of a discussion; deleting or editing legitimate comments, as you did at Talk:Rail transport in Costa Rica, is considered bad practice, even if you meant well. Even making spelling and grammatical corrections in others' comments is generally frowned upon, as it tends to irritate the users whose comments you are correcting. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. G S Palmer (talk) 16:35, 12 May 2014 (UTC)
- Just to be a bit more clear, you are welcome, indeed encouraged to remove incorrect information in an article, assuming you have sources to verify your information. The article's Talk page is a little different, because it is intend to be a running commentary, therefore previous comments should not be deleted, except in very specific situations, such as revealing personal information about an editor. The correct way to respond to something on the talks page you disagree with is to add a correcting comment of your own underneath the comment you believe inaccurate, preferably indented by starting the line with more colons, (e.g. ::::). I look forward to what you plan to contribute about the railroads in Cost Rica.--agr (talk) 19:19, 12 May 2014 (UTC)
