Welcome to Wikipedia. Your recent edit to the page Puerto Rico appears to have added incorrect information and has been reverted or removed. All information in this encyclopedia must be verifiable in a reliable, published source. If you believe the information that you added was correct, please cite the references or sources or before making the changes, discuss them on the article's talk page. Please use the sandbox for any tests that you wish to make. Do take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia. Thank you.

Please do not add or change content without verifying it by citing reliable sources. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Materialscientist (talk) 02:12, 26 February 2012 (UTC)

Hi and welcome to Wikipedia! All of your edits so far have been removed - except for the one note left on an article's talk page. Don't worry about that. A lot of editors, myself included, get started off that way. It's no big deal. The problem with your edits is that they weren't sourced. We have no idea where your information came from. If you can provide a source for these figures, just include it and your edits will "stick". We've even got editors who will stop by and help you with formatting and such. If you like, you can just post your edits and sources on the talk page, and someone will come along and add them to the article. So please don't be discouraged - we appreciate your interest.

Haiti

Hi, we're working hard to construct a complete and accurate encyclopedia, and the primary way we do this is by striving to use reliable sources. In the case of the Haiti article, we have a reliable source in the article already, and so we should say what that source says. In order to change the figures there, we'd need to provide a new source. There's a tutorial for beginners that you can look at to learn the process, but please, don't change cited figures without also supplying a source that supports that figure. Thanks & welcome, Dawnseeker2000 02:41, 26 February 2012 (UTC)

Please stop adding unsourced content, as you did to Haiti. This contravenes Wikipedia's policy on verifiability. If you continue to do so, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Dawnseeker2000 14:32, 26 February 2012 (UTC)
