Bio cleanup

If you've seen cleanup work I've done on bios (cite formatting, cats, posters, etc), and like it, please feel free to edit this page and add the article name to my 'To Do' list. Please sign it when you do so, though, so I know who to get back to. Thanks.

Reverted edits

I sometimes prowl with Lupin's Anti-Vandalism Tool, so I might have reverted your edit. If it was a good faith edit, sorry! I try to be very careful, and mostly aim for either section blanking, random insertions of profanity, and random foreign language text. If it appears on a quick glance to be a good faith edit, I leave it alone, unless the title of the article catches my eye as something that would obviously have controversy. Then I look real quick to see if it's an unsourced 'factual' change without any discussion on the talk page, and if it is I'll revert it.

Feel free to yell at me here if I messed up something, or just trout me. :)

thanks for Template suggestion for new use gagegs

Greetings Revent,

Thank you for your helpful tip on the templates for editing. I have printed them out and will use them today as I work on my very first Wikipedia article (The Rittenhouse Elementary School). All of you on Wikipedia have been so very kind and helpful, and I truly appreciate it.

response regarding Rittenhouse Elementary School citations

Howdy Revent,

Thanks for the information on citations. I'm finishing up a report for another course this morning, then will be jumping back into the citations this afternoon. I'm sure I'll have questions about those pesky citations. Enjoy your morning (well, it's morning here in Arizona), and talk to you soon gagegsGagegs (talk) 19:08, 29 April 2013 (UTC)

Don't think there's a problem with how you're doing them...there isn't. It's just that getting the numbers in the ref list is 'prettier'. :)

I just looked, and LOL, the help files on footnotes show every complicated way to make things like multiple reference lists and nested references, but not the way that's the most common, which is putting the 'cite' in the text at it's first appearance. Revent (talk) 19:26, 29 April 2013 (UTC)

Rittenhouse article citations

Howdy Revent, no need to apologize. The fault is probably mine anyway, since I have little understanding of what I'm doing :)

I'm getting ready to jump into my citations. I pasted a Word references and citation list in the article so I can refer back to them. I am terrified of doing this, but am going to give it a whirl. When I started the article in Sandbox, I tried doing some citations/references, but made a horrible mess of it. Hopefully I'll figure it all out. I'm determined to get this all down pat, it may just take some time to do so.

I sent the article for "review" a few days ago, and got a reply back that the article had been rejected. Does that mean that my article will be yanked and no longer viewable?

Thanks again for your help, and I'm sure we'll be talking more today as I jump into my citations nightmare
