[edit] New Article

My talk page is the best way to reach me. I'd be more than happy to answer questions, give pointers, or review your article. Drop me a line and let me know. Good luck! TN‑X-Man 12:46, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

If you click on the "X" in my signature (it's dark blue), it will take you to my talk page. Or, if you're on my user page, there's a tab at the top for "discussion". How's the article coming? TN‑X-Man 15:41, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
I can see the article on your Sandbox page. If you'd like, I'll review the article this evening and give you my impressions. Glancing through, though, it looks pretty good. Also, a quick note: when leaving messages on other's talk pages, be sure to indent every new message to help with readability. If you look at these posts, I've put an increasing number of colons in order to indent each message. Cheers! TN‑X-Man 16:19, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
I can give your article a look right now-ish. Is it OK if I make changes to your sandbox? I'll discuss the changes with you here afterwards if you like. TN‑X-Man 13:02, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

(outdent) OK,I've looked over your article. It looks pretty good. I've made a few changes, as you can see. I shrunk some of the images so they don't dominate the text. I've also removed the bolding from the captions. The only real issue I noticed was lack of in-line references. You have a reference list at the bottom (which is good), but now you need to integrate those references into the article. If you cite one of your references, be sure and note it. Now, this article has a zillion references, but it should give you an idea of how it works. Cheers! TN‑X-Man 13:14, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] License tagging for Image:The back of Marchmont.JPG

Thanks for uploading Image:The back of Marchmont.JPG. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image.

If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia.
