Welcome
editHello, MarcoMaya, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of your edits to the page Cocoa bean have not conformed to Wikipedia's verifiability policy, and have been reverted. Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations that have been stated in print or on reputable websites or other forms of media. Always remember to provide a reliable source for quotations and for any material that is likely to be challenged, or it may be removed. Wikipedia also has a related policy against including original research in articles.
If you are stuck and looking for help, please see the guide for citing sources or come to the new contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{helpme}} on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

About your edits of Cocoa bean
editI reverted an edit by you stating that the name probably came from the Mixe-Zoque. That is the only one of your edits that I undid. I undid it because it was an unsourced claim. That basically means that it doesn't have any reliable source that can corroborate it. Wikipedia relies in the verifiability of its content. If the information you are adding is only known by you, or it comes from your own research, then such information constitutes original research and therefore is not admissible in Wikipedia. All that being said, most of your other edits where good. I just wanted to welcome you and let you know about some of the policies and guidelines that rule Wikipedia. Thank you and happy editing (also, if you want me to explain things in Spanish, I can do that) --Legion fi (talk) 07:45, 11 November 2010 (UTC)
