[edit] Citing sources
I've just copyedited your additions and removed phrases like "horrific" which don't comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy - i.e. the facts should be stated but no opinion should be given about them. Can you cite sources for the additions, or do you know of any that could be used in the article? See Wikipedia:Citing sources for more information about this; most Wikipedia editors use the "<ref>" and "</ref>" tags to create footnotes when citing sources.
It is also a good idea to provide an edit summary with your edits. It makes it easier for people checking their watchlist and recent changes, and also makes it easier to read through the page history later.
You can sign comments in article and user talk pages with four tildes like this: "~~~~.". Happy editing. Graham87 06:47, 14 April 2007 (UTC)
- That's alright. All that is needed is an URL or a book title and I'll format the references if needed. You only need to sign your contributions to talk pages like this one though, not article contributions - credit towards the article contributions is provided by the history. I might be offline at times during the next few hours. Graham87 02:56, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Headings
Have a look at Wikipedia:Manual of Style (headings). The reason why I have changed the heading levels is that headings must be nested correctly to retain the structure of the page. I am particularly concerned about this because I use a screen reader as I say on my user page which uses headings to determine a page's structure. It's been quite rough at the swimming pool article in the last few hours because there has been vandalism relating to AIDS being transmitted through swimming pools (which has been a problem for ages) so I can understand if you didn't catch my notes about headings in the page history.
