Ghanaian cedi

Hi Tobking, thanks much for the note! I'm glad you've joined Wikipedia and are contributing to the project! I don't think I reverted you or left a vandal warning for you. Someone from the IP address 169.244.92.162 changed 'new cedi' to 'gay fag', and I reverted them and left a vandal warning for them. But I'm sure that wasn't you, your own contributions have been valuable. Your edits are currently the last ones to have been made to that page. Maybe you saw my note to the vandal and thought it was to you?

About your question, definitely let me know if you need any help, I'm glad to offer it. My biggest recommendations would be to always cite your sources from which you get the information you add, especially when adding things like numbers or quotes (using the Cite.php referencing style can be a little tricky at first, I can help if you like). Another really fundamental thing is our policy that all material should be written in a neutral tone, but I saw no problems with that in your edits.

Thanks again for helping out with the project, I'm really glad you've decided to share your knowledge! Sorry for the confusion with the vandal warning thing, but like I said, I'm pretty sure I never reverted or left a message for you. Definitely let me know if you need any help with anything, I'll be more than happy to offer it. Peace, Delldot on a public computer (talk) 02:45, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the reply, glad to have gotten the chance to clear that up :) Definitely keep in touch! Peace, delldot talk 13:36, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary

Hello, there probably is something worth mentioning in the politics of this, but we need reliable independent sources. I will try to find some. Statements about living people in particular can open up all sorts of liability. See Wikipedia:Verifiability for example. Thanks. W Nowicki (talk) 20:51, 17 December 2010 (UTC)
