[edit] Bellevue, Washington

--Kraftlos 20:59, 7 December 2006 (UTC) I went down the history of the Bellevue WA article and it appears that you were the first person to contribute to the history section. I was just curious where you got the information, because I was interested having the page referenced (and because I'm translating the article for the Spanish Wikipedia). Not that it's entirely your fault, because at least 20 other people did the same thing, but the page looks bad with no citations.

Actually I used the external links at the end of the page, which I added in at about the same time. I live there, so I'm a little familiar with the history. I'll add this to my to-do list, and try to get some proper inline citations added. — RJH (talk) 21:03, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, so do I. I couldn't find any of your history additions in those links, so am I correct in assuming those websites have changed? Or did you write most of it yourself? (I'm surprised that the city of bellevue doesn't have any history on its website). Also I found some corporate website that ripped the entire wikipedia article off and put it on their site.

I've been adding in some references (including a couple of history references) and adding {{Fact}} templates where they couldn't be verified. I believe it's okay for other sites to use the wikipedia stuff; that's what it's there for.

I've been a wikipedia addict for about 2 years, but now I'm really getting addicted to editing it.  :-/ Nice to meet you and hope to hear from you soon.

Yes it can be a big time-sink. :-) Nice to hear from you too. — RJH (talk) 19:53, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
