Welcome to Wikipedia. We welcome and appreciate your contributions, including your edits to Adam and Eve, but we cannot accept original research. Original research also encompasses novel, unpublished syntheses of previously published material. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your information. Thank you. I've reverted your changes as they seemed to be based on your opinion. All material must be sourced to a reliable reference. NeilN ^{talk to me} 16:02, 7 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add original research or novel syntheses of previously published material to our articles as you apparently did to Garden of Eden. Please cite a reliable source for all of your information. Thank you. Again, you need to provide sources. NeilN ^{talk to me} 16:12, 7 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Danerick. When writing material we need to be careful that no unsupported judgements are made. For example, in Adam and Eve you used phrases like, "...or it could simply mean that..." and "A more logical explanation...". Wikipedia articles cannot decide what is "more logical". These phrases belong in essays as they are stating an opinion. Hope you understand the subtle difference. --NeilN ^{talk to me} 16:26, 7 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Glad to have helped! If you have any more questions, please let me know. You're working on some high profile articles so expect close scrutiny of your edits. --NeilN ^{talk to me} 16:41, 7 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
