[edit] TBF Avenger

Good work on the Paul Neman cite. However, no one had ever added the ref tags to the References that allows the sources to be listed. An article this long should have had more cites than this already anyway. There was another footnote already there, and that editor had not checked for the tags either. This is not your fault in any way; it's just a good idea to check when you add references to see that they'll display. On an article this size, they'll usually be there already.

The newer method for listing out the sources is to use the {{reflist}} tag. This is easier to remember than the old method, which was more complicated to type out. I've made minor edits in the article several times before, and never noticed the ref tag was missing then. I only found it because I wanted to read your souce in full (just for fun, not to double-check you!) Again, good job. - BillCJ 06:50, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the feedback, Bill. I'm fairly new at this and the learning happens a lot quicker with good coaching. ChrisnHouston 22:16, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, adding content without citing a reliable source, as you did to Irrational number, is not consistent with our policy of verifiability. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. If you are already familiar with Wikipedia:Citing sources please take this opportunity to add your original reference to the article. Thank you. Besides the fact that your paragraph is unsourced, irrational numbers mean non-rational, simply, it doesn't mean they don't exist. And imaginary numbers don't exist -- but that doesn't mean they aren't useful. If you disagree, discuss on the talk, please. Gscshoyru 16:43, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Comment on userpage

Just a quickie - I noticed that you left your message for User:Gscshoyru on that user's userpage, rather than their talk page, so I've taken the liberty of moving it over for you. Giles Bennett (Talk, Contribs) 19:25, 29 October 2007 (UTC)
