Thanks for attributing the quote at Martha Graham, and welcome to Wikipedia. After re-reading the article, I made the small change of adding the title of the book that you sourced for the quote, inline and below the quote -- so that a reader can see the attribution as they read the article -- but I left the details for the footnote, as you had done. Yes, yours was quite an appropriate edit, and thank you for your diligence.

As for deleting our conversation here on your user page, that is up to you and there is some disagreement over which is appropriate: some users archive their talk pages when they get cluttered, and only retain current conversations, some delete everything on their talk pages as soon as they have read it, and some use techniques somewhere in between.

The choice of style is up to you, regardless of the well-settled custom that users don't own their user pages, you will certainly be a very active contributor and reader on your own user page, so it's certainly appropriate for you to make the majority of decisions about it.

Thanks for your thoughtful note, I believe the majority of users, and the best examples of good editors would appreciate such gestures, as well as the friendly and cooperative tone of the message.

I think you shall do just fine here, again, welcome! If I may be of any assistance to you feel free to ask any questions or for any sort of help you need, any time. User:Pedant 18:38, 28 December 2006 (UTC)


[edit] reference

Actually, there wasn't any problem with your reference amd I didn't make any changes to it. The problem was with the "notes" section at the bottom of the article, which kept your reference from being properly formatted. That said, you should always add an "accessed (insert date here)" notation when you cite online references b/c online references often change. I've added this in. If you need any more help, just let me know. Best, --Alabamaboy 22:51, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Martha Graham

I removed Donald McKayle from the list. I hadn't realized that was a direct quote. I'm surprised there has been any controversy in any of this. Thanks. Andrew Parodi 06:03, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
