Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, adding content without citing a reliable source, as you did to Pacific Highway (Australia), 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. Thank you. Please note, your edit to this article also removed a reference that was re-used elsewhere in the article. When (validly) removing references, please ensure that references are not re-used and if they are, please ensure that the reference is moved appropriately.

Using page history

Hi, I don't know whether you knew that it is possible to see previous versions of Wikipedia articles, and to go back to a selected version. Please see WP:REVERT for information on this.

I mention this because you helpfully improved the page We All Go Back to Where We Belong. In future, if you see a page that is plainly wrong about something that you would expect to have a decent article, it's worth checking the page history. In that case, something had gone badly wrong on the preceding edit, and you could have saved yourself some effort by reverting to a previous version. Hope this helps! – Fayenatic (talk) 12:18, 19 October 2011 (UTC) Thanks for that help, I did know about the history page and through that, reverting. Its just I did not think to do so because I believed this page had just been created like that.[reply]

Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to Axis (song) may have broken the syntax by modifying 1 "()"s. If you have, don't worry, just edit the page again to fix it.
