[edit] Charles Reed Bishop

Thanks for expanding the article. Would you also mind adding inline citations? If you need help, let me know. —Viriditas | Talk 11:48, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for getting back to me. I'll be happy to help out with the inline citations. If you want to cite a documentary film, you can cite it manually using the Chicago Manual of Style. However, I recommend using the {{Cite video}} template for ease of use. If you need help, let me know. —Viriditas | Talk 11:46, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Subpages

Yes, take a look at Wikipedia:Subpages. You can add the subpages to your user or user talk page merely by starting any article within a namespace with a slash, like this: /Sandbox. Clicking on that link would create a new artilce named "Sandbox" in User talk:Softlavender. Subpage creation (like the wiki page explains) applies to article talk pages too (useful for temporary or archival subpages) but not articles themselves. —Viriditas | Talk 07:17, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Work Out

Please quit warning me that I will be blocked for something that I did not do. I would appreciate if you looked over the rules of Wikipedia and re-read the page about biting newcomers as well as what vandalism actually is. No deliberate attempt to compromise Wikipedia's integrity was made. Also, if you would look at the "six reverts" (which I don't count six, nor were all made by the same person), you will also notice yourself reverting. Please read the three-revert rule and the edit war description to make sure that you are not partaking in either. 150.135.66.36 (talk) 22:26, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Merle Oberon

Thanks for adding references to Merle Oberon, but http://biographybase.com can't be used as a WP:RS source since it's a 2004 copy of wikipedia itself. See Wikipedia:Mirrors_and_forks/Abc#Biography_Base. Quale (talk) 15:18, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
