I recently opened a Wikipedia page and got a message regarding the reverting of
an edit that was made by me(my current ip address was specified). I have
neither seen, nor made any changes to the specified article(message included
below).The following information may be useful:
-I got the message on the same date that I have submitted this.
-The IP range(117.204.*.*) belongs to my ISP (name:BSNL, Location:India)
-Perhaps there is a solution to this? Just a suggestion.
THE MESSAGE:

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to Wikipedia,

encoder], did not appear to be constructive and has been reverted or removed.

welcome page to learn more about contributing constructively to this
encyclopedia. This particular incident was located with the assistance of
STiki. Thank you! -- ((username)) (talk) 16:41, 21 July 2010 (UTC)
