[edit] Thanks: Rosa Parks

Dwalls, Thanks for adding those sources to Rosa Parks. If you ever need any help with anything around here, just let me know. --futurebird 05:35, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for your kind and encouraging note. As a relative newcomer, it's good to get some positive feedback. Most of what I've been contributing is balancing the abundance of online resources with a few of the standard print sources -- organizational histories, biographies, and autobiographies. I hope to get a feel for how that goes over with fellow Wikipedians. So I was pleased to hear from you. Dwalls 17:01, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Harry Caudill

Hi, I'm a big Harry Caudill fan and reader too, and have visited his home county of Letcher, in East Kentucky. We have an international readership, hence the addition of the country, just for consistency's sake. If a publication were given as Chetumal, Quintana Roo, but no country, many people wouldn't know what country it was. If those books were published earlier, I think the earlier publication info should be given in the bibliography as well. That info should be easy to find on an online library catalog.

OK, but I note that Wikipedia strongly suggests following the MLA Style Manual. Dwalls 03:17, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks

Thanks for your great work on Guy Carawan! --Allen 23:25, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the note, Allen. Let's work together to fill out the Carawans' career at Highlander. I had met Guy and Candie in the 1960s when I lived in eastern Kentucky and later in Lexington. I haven't seen them for the 25 years I've been in California, but I've followed their work. Glad to see also that you initiated the article on Evan Carawan. I'm sure it's helpful that you are closer to the scene there. Dwalls 03:17, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
Very nice job getting Heather to license that photo of Guy under Creative Commons! Sorry I haven't been helping out with the article; you're doing a fine job by yourself, though. --Allen 23:11, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for noticing, Allen. My third image uploaded; each one is an educational campaign on the Creative Commons License! (Others: Archie Green and Little Red Songbook). I have in mind two more paras on Carawans at Highlander, then I'm turning it over to you! I also added Video Ref section for two videos with lots of good info on the Carawans, as you no doubt know.
