- Hi there and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your note about The Beatles. Please allow me to explain a little more. When I made this edit, I left you a note thanking you for experimenting with the page and I explained that your post had been reverted. I suggested that you make further tests in the sandbox which many new users find useful as well as referring you to the welcome page. Your edit claiming that "Thiers is huge amounts of evidence to suggest that the Beatles where are the greatest band of all time." did not cite sources and was considered, therefore, not to conform to a neutral point of view. A neutral point of view is required for all articles and the onus for providing sources lies with the editor making the claim. I notice that your edit was reverted also by User:Akamad here for the same reasons. Please take a moment to look over your contributions for spelling, grammatical, and punctuation errors before submitting them in final. This will help lessen the amount of copyediting work that fellow Wikipedians need to do, and will help improve the overall appearance of Wikipedia. This is not meant to be a disciplinary message, but merely a friendly request. Thank you!
- I hope that this explains things more for you. Here are some other links that newcomers find useful:
