[edit] Nice start!

If you'd like a couple of format suggestions ... the <ref> goes snug up against the punctuation mark - like this

she then went home.<ref>

with no space between the punctuation mark and the <ref>

- not like this

she then went home. <ref>

Also, there wouldn't be square brackets around the cites in the footnotes (see the main Gold Rush article for format suggestions).

Finally, you thinking about adding headings?!

Nice start, Peacepanda, this is a lot of good work! NorCalHistory (talk) 06:55, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

Thank you for the suggestions! My main goal was to get the article up and then fuss with stylistic issues later. I'll definitely take your suggestions into account though.

[edit] pic

As always, a picture would be nice! And presumably not too hard to find a free one. --jbmurray (talkcontribs) 17:39, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
