[edit] Revolutionary War

Hi, thanks for your interest. User Kowey did at least a merger of source refernces. I've done a bit of editing, but no seriuous merger. I also started a separate article on the American Revolution. My problem with the 1911 article is that lots of it belongs on the revolution page, not the war. I first attacked this last summer (2003) but found so many missing pieces )viographies, battles, etc. that I've ben working from the bottom and middle of the problem. I thought I'd try to reorganize the major two articles (Revolution and War) toward the end of that process. While they should be complete articles, they also need to serve as an introduction, overview, or connection for the more detailed material. All that said, feel free to change either article with material from the 1911 encyclopedia. Thanks again, and good Wikiing! Lou I 18:14, 1 May 2004 (UTC)

[edit] just text won't do

You have to write up the context and the relevance/importance. -- Kaihsu 22:43, 2004 May 1 (UTC)

You might want to consider moving Declaration of Paris to http://sources.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page RickK 22:44, 1 May 2004 (UTC)

Ok - cool, I was reading an article about letters of marque and googled the treaty, I thought other readers might want to know too and the article had a link. It was a little funny too, when I added the text it went away - thought I made a mistake. Thanks Colin Carr 22:48, 1 May 2004 (UTC)

Good. Happy researching/editing. The write-up does not have to be long, but make sure you use the stub notice {{msg:stub}}, so others know to add to it. See, for example, 13 steps -- Kaihsu 22:50, 2004 May 1 (UTC)

[edit] Image source

You uploaded Image:Wt2.jpg and said that it is from the U.S. Dept of Agriculture... could you provide a url to where you found the image? thanks 64.142.78.52 02:31, 29 Dec 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Sailing Wiki

Hi Colin,

My name is johnsee and I'm trying to track down people keen on both sailing and wiki's to help with a new collborative sailing wiki. It's CC licensed, and a community project (mostly of sailing bloggers) and completely non profit. If I could interest you in helping out the wiki is here. If not, I apologise for stealing a few lines of room on your talk page :)
