[edit] Useful Wikipedia pages to review

Secondly here are some additional resources you may find helpful:

[edit] ... when editing potential controversial articles

My father, a first generation Scottish American, traveled frequently to Scotland and had many friends there. He observed that the Massacre of Glencoe was still a point of contention for many Scots, even after several centuries.

I see you've taken to editing this article and already encountered a bit of minor, fairly civilized controversy. Here are some links you may want to look at if you're going to edit more controversial articles:

Having said all this, don't shy away from editing controversial articles. I'm including these links to be helpful -- it's not intended to be some sort of "hint" about your editing pattern to date. --A. B. 16:42, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] ...when creating new articles

Your new Baron of Scales article has been tagged as needing "wikification" (formatting to Wikipedia norms). Don't sweat this too much -- "content is king" on Wikipedia. We need substantive content more than formatting, although understanding basic formatting is important. These three links will help you with this. --A. B. 16:42, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thank you

Finally, and most importantly, thank you for your edits to date, especially your new Baron of Scales article. As I said above, we always need additional substantive content. --A. B. 16:42, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
