[edit] some suggestions

Welcome to Wikipedia, and thanks for contributing this article. I have a few general suggestions for reading if you wish to contribute further. I noticed that you used some HTML formatting in your article, which is fine (it won't crash the system), but Wikipedia uses it's own weird formatting. You can read all about it at Wikipedia:How to edit a page, specifically the section "Wiki markup". You can read about how to format references at Wikipedia: Citing sources in the section "How to cite sources". Hyperlinked footnotes, the most common method, is explained at Wikipedia:Footnotes.

Lastly, I saw that you used some personal correspondence as a citation at least once in this article. Unfortunately, Wikipedia does not allow personal correspondence to be used as a citation unless the correspondence has been published. The basic reason is that Wikipedia requires all information to be verifiable by anyone, and unpublished personal correspondence cannot be verified. It can also sometimes run afould of our policy against original research. You can read more about this at Wikipedia:Verifiability and Wikipedia: Original research. It would be best if you could find another source for the information currently supported by that reference or remove it. Natalie 18:29, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] images

You'll find this helpful: Wikipedia:Images#Using_images. The short answer is that you want to put a pipe (|) followed by the word "right" after the image name, but inside the square brackets. So it will look like this: Image:example.jpg|right, enclosed in two sets of square brackets. If you wanted it to go to the left, you would insert left. Natalie 21:13, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
