re: edit to Alcatraz Island

S.A. 008,

First, welcome to Wikipedia. I hope that you will enjoy working here.

Second, I have included a set of links above that will connect you to some helpful information regarding some policies around here.

Third, I reverted your edit to this article, and wanted to let you know why. There was a grammatical issue with your edit. In addition, the information you added was revealed in the next few paragraphs, though you deleted information in doing so (the year it ceased being a prison). Accidents can happen, and reversion is rather easy. I am sure it was nothing but an error. However, rather than leave you in the dark, I wanted to tell you why I made that change.

I wish you the best of luck! LonelyBeacon (talk) 23:36, 25 July 2009 (UTC)
