Hello, Mrriotto, 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 to the page MS Enchantment of the Seas 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}}

Verifiability, not truth
[edit]In response to your questions, here on the English Wikipedia we strive for Verifiability, not truth. That means that all edits need to not only be verifiabile, but also properly referenced and written from a neutral point-of-view. If an addition does not meet all of these points, it is considered original research and will be removed. If you can properly cite your sources for the edits, by all means go ahead. -MBK004 03:52, 11 October 2009 (UTC)
- This is your explanation, you cannot cite yourself, all information must be properly referenced to verifiable sources, otherwise it is original research and exactly as it has been done in your case, reverted without question 100% of the time. -MBK004 10:18, 2 March 2010 (UTC)
