Welcome
[edit]Hello, Totalloss, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of your edits have not conformed to Wikipedia's verifiability policy, and have been reverted. Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations that have been stated in print or on reputable websites or other forms of media. Always remember to provide a reliable source for quotations and for any material that is likely to be challenged, or it may be removed. Wikipedia also has a related policy against including original research in articles.
If you are stuck and looking for help, please see the guide for citing sources or come to the new contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{helpme}}
on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date.

[edit]Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, adding content without citing a reliable source, as you did with this edit to Inflation, is not consistent with our policy of verifiability. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. If you are familiar with Wikipedia:Citing sources, please take this opportunity to add references to the article. 4twenty42o (talk) 01:20, 16 November 2009 (UTC)

[edit]Hi there. I hate to pile on, but I wanted to just comment that your recent edit summary on this article indicated that you were basing the addition on your personal experiences at the Automat. It's an innocuous addition so I'm not removing it, but I just wanted to point out that ordinarily we don't allow people to introduce material based on their own experiences or research. You may want to look at WP:OR. Appreciate your interest in that old eating establishment, and I hope you contribute more to that area. JohnnyB256 (talk) 20:31, 16 November 2009 (UTC)
