[edit] Apollo/Domain and sourcing
Hi there! I just encountered your remarks at Talk:Apollo/Domain. I hope you were not overly upset by that request for a citation. Since anyone can edit Wikipedia, we place a high value on verifiability and attributation. A lot of suspect information gets added to Wikipedia, and that sometimes makes us a little "trigger happy" in our desire to verify contributions. Nobody is accusing you of being dishonest or unreliable; they're simply asking you if you could cite an independent source. If you cannot, just explain on the talk page, as you did, and maybe leave a note for the other editor on their talk page, pointing them to the article talk page. I hope you can be cool with that, and use the experience as learning experience, not a negative one. I hate to see knowledgeable people be chased away. If you need any help, please feel free to ask me on my talk page. You can also post at the help desk. Hope this helps! —DragonHawk (talk|hist) 18:39, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
