User talk:Searchwriter

Is help available from Wikipedia editors with the correct formatting of citations (such as leaving an example to follow)? I am having some difficulty following the instructions in the Help file regarding reference citations, but as you can see the citations are fully disclosed in the code view.

I also wish to know whether my user name, which is the name used in my email address - searchwriter@gmail.com - presents any problems since I seem to recall that our company once used its trade name and had an article blocked. This is not a trade name but a pen name. For purposes of complete disclosure, my full legal name is Lawrence M. Sivitz, and if that needs to be substituted or aliased in some fashion, you have my permission to do so. Searchwriter (talk) 20:24, 21 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

My question about the username (above) still applies. Searchwriter (talk) 20:41, 21 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
