== I accidentally deleted some stuff...help... == This was my first time using the encyclopedia, and we have been discussing the Mitochondrial Eve theory in class, so I decided I wanted to add in a line or two of my own. However, when I went to edit it and hit preview it looked fine, but when I hit save page, the picture and almost all of the credits are gone! So i go to history, and i see my IP address as the last change, and now I don't know what to do!! Is there a way to revert it back to the way it was, or will a server administrator do that??? Woops....oh, yeah, the article is about Mitochondrial Eve if you didn't pick it up before! Sorry!!! :Don't worry. Someone has fixed your error. If it happens again, all you need to do is click the "Page history" link at the top of the broken page. You will see a list of edits, the last of which (at the top) will be yours. Click on the line below this to open the last good version of the page. Then click "Edit this page", and save it again without making any changes. You have now restored the page. :Don't let this experience put you off. Your contributions are welcome, even if you mess up occasionally (as we all do). -- [[User:Heron|Heron]] 21:17, 24 Jul 2004 (UTC)
