[edit] Thanks for your interesting addtion to California Gold Rush
Since California Gold Rush is a Featured article, the expectation for edits in that article is pretty high. That is, substantive additions are generally expected to have a specific footnote describing a reliable source for the added text. Additions which are "unsourced" are subject to removal. Rather than simply reverting your recent addition to the Gold Rush article refering to the adoption of Mexican mining claim laws, it would be interesting if you would be kind enough to supply a reliable source for this information. If you are unaware how to add the source information to the article in a footnote, please just place the source information on my talk page. Thanks and welcome to Wikipedia!

[edit] A couple of things
One wikipedia convention followed by a number of editors (such as myself) is that we tend to check all edits one our WATCHLIST made by someone whose name appears in red. It's sort of a red flag as it were. If you add anything to your User:Page your name will thereafter appear in blue. Anyway, now on to your edits at W. S. Stratton. I'm a sculpture person and am wondering if the statue of Stratton on the Springs that you mention is actually the equestrian statue of William Jackson Palmer? If not, how about a picture of it? Anyway, nice to meet you. Carptrash 16:00, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
- Well that is clearly NOT the staue that I was thinking of. Which is why my friends and family constantly warn me about thinking. "Don't do it!", they say. I've done a couple of statue sweeps of Colorado Springs and obviously missed this. I tried to find some information about it before contacting you, but was not able to do so. Anyway, your photo is a fine addition to the article. Einar aka Carptrash 03:09, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
P.S. Check out my new theory in the article. It is the same statue. Carptrash 03:32, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
