== I messed something up ==

Hello, I am new to using Wikipedia and do not really understand the nature of an open encyclopedia.  In my ignorance I edited a page referring to Norman Lockyer which resulted in the loss of the content that was contained.  I did not realize at the time that I was doing this.  Is there anyway that the original authors content can be restored.  If not let me know and I will do my own research and try to replace the content although I doubt that it will be as good as what was originally there.  Please let me know, thanks.

:Don't worry I've reverted your changes. We keep a history of ''every'' edit. Anything you do can be undone. If you look at the top of each page you will see a series of tabs. One of them says "history" click on this to see a complete history of the page. Click on an earlier version, then edit that version (you don't have to actually make any changes). Save that version and the old content is restored. [[User:Theresa knott|theresa knott]] 17:41, 9 Jul 2004 (UTC)
