Please don’t bite me, I’m a newbie!

I’m a university student in a Wikipedia Education class, and I’m currently learning how to contribute to Wikipedia.
I am approaching my subject in good faith.

If you have any concerns or questions, my tutor’s name is Airbubbles 451 (talk · contribs). Thanks!

Needles and pins revert

[edit]

My revert got away from me before I'd added the edit summary, for which I apologise. Before you add vast walls of text (with the promise of more on the way) it would be a good idea to master the copious editing guidance available on WP. The main reason I reverted in this instance was per WP:OFFTOPIC. But there was also the matter of your unsourced conjecture (see WP:RS) of the pre-existence of the rhyme in question before it was cited by Halliwell. You'll need a source that specifically states that there is evidence that this particular rhyme is older, other than the obvious fact that it had to be in order for Halliwell to record it! I know it sounds pedantic, but for you to point that out in the article off your own bat counts as WP:OR. You put a lot of hard work into your edit, and I would hate to see your energy thrown away for want to knowing your way round WP. Sweetpool50 (talk) 00:22, 17 May 2022 (UTC)Reply
