how do I cancel a flawed edit

Welcome!

Hello, LeoH.7L, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines, and may not be retained.

There's a page about creating articles you may want to read called Your first article. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the Teahouse, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{help me}} on this page, followed by your question, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

Your contributed article, How the trojan war began

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, How the trojan war began. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page – Trojan War#Origins of the war. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at Trojan War#Origins of the war – you might like to discuss new information at the article's talk page.

If you think the article you created should remain separate, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. Exemplo347 (talk) 14:42, 15 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm Robert McClenon. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Trojan War, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.

Are you sure about that, Robert McClenon? I don't see any evidence that LeoH.7L has ever edited that article. Cordless Larry (talk) 16:10, 15 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Cordless Larry He hasn't, he edited the talk page. He wishes to add material that duplicates existing material and isn't sourced (except to one of our article). Leo, thanks for this but could you read WP:VERIFY and WP:RS? I'd say all of us who have been around for more than a few edits have had our edits reverted from time to time, and a lot of new editors don't understand how seriously we insist on good sources.

Oops. It does appear that I mistook an article edit for a talk page edit. My mistake. Robert McClenon (talk) 17:34, 15 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
