Hello, JreillyII, 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 James F. Reilly 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.

There is a page about the verifiability policy that explains the policy in greater detail, and another that offers tips on the proper ways of citing sources. If you are stuck and looking for help, please 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:

James, if this really is you, I do apologize for having to block you. I really do respect all astronauts and cosmonauts. Unfortunately, I do need to direct you to our policy on editing articles about yourself: Wikipedia:Autobiography. You really are welcome here, but if you must edit pages related to yourself or your actions, please limit those edits to the talk pages of the articles. -MBK004 21:52, 8 December 2008 (UTC)Reply
