I'm sorry you don't like my tone; it was nothing more than descriptive. Please read a bit more so that people don't have to make the same corrections twice, and don't forget to sign comments on talk pages by typing four tildes. Eceresa (talk) 23:49, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

Ok, you're getting reverted and possibly getting upset about it. I don't doubt that you're here from good intentions, and I'm glad to see anybody taking an interest in the classics (the kids I try to teach the Odyssey to sometimes seem to wake up only for the blood), but I've got a couple pieces of advice that'll probably make your experience around here a lot more enjoyable. First, click articles at random and read them. Read the talk pages (follow the "discussion" link in the tab at the top of the page) and see how things tend to be done. You might not always like how they're done, but it helps to know. One thing you'll notice is that people usually sign their comments on talk pages. You do that by typing four tildes.

Second, read the rules. Particularly, pay attention to 3RR, the three revert rule, which is the one it seems you'd be most likely to break soon. It says you shouldn't revert someone else's changes more than three times in 24 hours. That's why I didn't revert you again (since the two "undos" I used last time could have been construed as two separate reverts, and I didn't want to break the rule).
