For the Sports section of the Nassau County, New York article, I made several additions, including the Brooklyn Nets and original New York Cosmos teams, both of whom formerly played there, as well as the present-day New York Cosmos, who now play there. I also added references to the two major horse-racing tracks in the county, Belmont Park and the former Roosevelt Raceway.

However, I took the liberty of removing the article's references to the defunct F.C. New York soccer team and the current Long Island Ducks minor-league baseball team, as (according to their respective articles currently on Wikipedia) neither team formerly played or currently plays in Nassau County proper (F.C. New York played its home games at Belson Stadium at St. John's University in neighboring Queens, New York, while the Ducks play their home games at Bethpage Park, located in Central Islip, New York in neighboring Suffolk County, New York.

Recent edit to Domestic terrorism[edit]

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that you removed some content from Domestic terrorism without explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; I restored the removed content. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you!

@Pdeck2013: Thanks for the explanation you posted in my Talk Page. It makes sense. Please, repost your contribution to the article but please include an explanation and if possible a source. Thanks for your contribution. Caballero//Historiador ^☊ 17:48, 4 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Help!

I was attempting to make an edit and I think I screwed the section up.

In the article "List of United States Naval Academy alumni", I attempted to edit the tabular section on "Chiefs of Naval Operations" to add Elmo R. Zumwalt, Jr., a 1942 Academy graduate who served as CNO from 1970-1974 amd for whom the Navy's new class of advanced destroyers has been named.

I went into the editing page, and seeing as how  it contained format elements to separate the boxes of the table, I cleared a space, duplicated an existing entry, then replaced all of the information with the new information, in the exact place and order. I then closed up the extra space, so the list looked like it had before, only with the addition of one more entry.

I hit Preview Changes and saw that the table had become jumbled, but I assumed that this was a glitch and that saving the page would restore it to the way it was before, with the addition of the new entry. Big mistake, as it was still jumbled up. I tried pushing the "Back" button on my browser and got back to the page as it looked before I had made my edit, and tried going into EDIT and doing a save (i.e. of the original, unchanged page) - but that did not work either.

I am afraid that I am in over my head on this one. Sorry.

Antisemitism and History of antisemitism[edit]

Hello. I reverted your recent edits to Antisemitism and History of antisemitism because they consisted of original research. The Bible is not a reliable source of history, nor does it mention antisemitism. I recommend finding reliable secondary sources if you can and restoring the material, rewritten in accordance with what the secondary sources say. Thank you. — Malik Shabazz ^Talk/_Stalk 03:43, 20 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
