[edit] Politics section on Washington article

What are you trying to do on the Politics section of the Washington article? Maybe I can help. You've made 7 edits in the last 15 minutes and most of them are relatively minor edits. --Bobblehead 20:59, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

I am not 100% efficient in editing, so after I have made an edit, I see that I have made a mistake in form. I finally have things in order. The page should read like an encyclopedia: not too wordy, footnotes in proper accredited format, etc. You may notice that many of my edits have been dealing with footnotes, something I am still learning how to do properly.

Ahh. Okay. You may want to make use of the Show preview button. It doesn't work for the references, but if you add <references/> to the bottom of the section and then do a show preview, you can see what the footnote will look like. You just have to remember to delete the <references/> before you save your changes. Also, take a look at the following page for more info on footnotes:

Happy editing. --Bobblehead 21:13, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
