[edit] Regarding your recent contributions
Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. For your assistance, I have added a number of links above that may help you become acquainted with Wikipedia. In particular, I would like to draw your attention to two of your recent contributions: your apparent autobiographical article Oliver Anthony Buchino and your contribution to the Jefferson Memorial.
Regarding the former, I took the name and your user name as indication that this was meant to be a description about yourself. Such autobiographies are more appropriate for your "userspace"; rather than in the "space" of a typical encyclopedia article. Therefore, I moved it to your userspace, which can be viewed here.
As for your edits to the Jefferson Memorial article, the information you provided is interesting; but it is recommended that you provide legitimate references for your information. For the moment, I reverted (undid) your edits, but I encourage you to add them back in should you adequately cite them.
I suspect that similar reversions may occur with your other contributions, as well, but don't take them personally: we try and do our best to make sure everything on Wikipedia is factual -- which can be an arduous task sometimes. Thank you for your contributions and welcome to Wikipedia! --Thisisbossi 04:00, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Marshall, Wisconsin
Oliver, welcome to wikipedia. Unfortunately, geobee is not (yet) a notable topic for inclusion into wikipedia, and since there is no topic for this, it is inappropriate to include yourself in the Marshall, Dane County, Wisconsin article without backing it up with factual references. I would highly suggest that you might be the one to create the geobee article, if you can find enough external references to it! Your edit stating that marshall is one of two winning Science Olympiad teams is quite exiting, but again, you have no external references to back up this claim, and until then it also needs to be removed. If you can find some external references backing up this claim, list them on my Talk page and I can show you how they can be entered into the page. Timmccloud 00:56, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
