Good luck, and have fun. --Wildhartlivie (talk) 11:40, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Janis Joplin

I just wanted to leave you a note to first, thank you for the addition of citations for this article. The other thing I wanted to note was that you don't have to repeat the complete citations for references that aren't already there. For example, I condensed the Ellis Amburn references and all you need do to repeat it is type <ref name="amburn"/>. Similarly, for the Alice Echols reference, you just need to type <ref name="scars"/> and that will include it. Thanks again!!! Wildhartlivie (talk) 07:14, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

Just wanted to tell you that it is recommended that you use the preview button before you save; this helps you find any errors you have made, and prevents clogging up recent changes and the page history. Thank you. Wildhartlivie (talk) 23:49, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
I really really want to urge you to use the preview button to double check your edits before saving them. It is far less work on the server, and is much easier for others who come along to go back over edit history and reference and fact checking. Thanks.

You haven't tried my patience, I'm very glad you've stepped up with the sources you have to put them in the article. I don't have the books you do and it's greatly appreciated. I hope you've gotten a bit of a handle on how some of the more routine things are done on Wikipedia and you continue to contribute. I hope I haven't pressed you in trying to keep things according to guidelines and policies. If you run across more material, by all means, stop around. Thanks again!
