Welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you enjoy the encyclopedia and want to stay. As a first step, you may wish to read the Introduction.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask me at my talk page – I'm happy to help. Or, you can ask your question at the New contributors' help page.
Here are some more resources to help you as you explore and contribute to the world's largest encyclopedia...

Please do not add or change content, as you did to
Machu Picchu, without
verifying it by citing a
reliable source. Please review the guidelines at
Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Wikipedia cannot state it it own voice that "t appears that the masonry at Machu Picchu cannot be reproduced by using any known tools today. Furthermore, there is no technology capable of moving these massive stones or assembling them so precisely." Not unless you can find a mainstream source, and even then you'd have to attribute it. It simply isn't true.

- I removed statements that are baloney but were presented as fact: That the stones can't be crafted or moved by modern technology. Nonsense. - DavidWBrooks ( talk) 15:08, 21 March 2014 (UTC)
- I think the problem here may be that you wrote "It appears that the masonry at Machu Picchu cannot be reproduced by using any known tools today. Furthermore, there is no technology capable of moving these massive stones or assembling them so precisely." while perhaps meaning to say that "New Age" or whatever writers "believe that the masonry at Machu Picchu cannot be reproduced by using any known tools today. Furthermore, there is no technology capable of moving these massive stones or assembling them so precisely." If that's what you meant and you can provide a quote to that effect (and also one where Hill mentions aliens), then please do so on the talk page and it can probably be included, suitably attributed.

Hello and
welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to
talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), please be sure to
sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:
- Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment; or
- With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button (
or
) located above the edit window.
This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.
