Litchfield historical topics
Hi, glad to see you editing at Litchfield Law School and other articles. As i mentioned in part at the talk page of another account recently, i am an editor mostly focused on historic sites, in particular mostly on National Register listed ones. I visited Litchfield to take pics and visit the library and walk around, on just one day in 2009. I presume you have association with the Litchfield Historical Society and/or are otherwise involved/interested in the area. About wikipedia, please in general be bold with your editing. Please take responsibility to ensure no copyrighted material is introduced, i.e. please write in your own words or use explicit quotes of anyone else's (even perhaps quoting your own writings if you have published works). And please read Wikipedia's policy on Conflict of Interest (i think at wp:COI). That provides clarification that it is OKAY for persons to edit about organizations they are associated with, but just provides guidelines to follow including that you might identify a potential conflict of interest / association (such as I assume u have with the Litchfield Historical Society). And for example, if there is a disagreement between editors about what should be included in an article about the L H Society, the COI guideline is that the editor with an association should defer to non-involved others. Wikipedia guidelines and policies have evolved to try to help govern a big, sometimes chaotic landscape here. Again, welcome to Wikipedia. Have fun and keep up the good work like what I already see you are contributing! I'll watch here sometimes, but please feel free to contact me at my Talk page if you have any questions or need any assistance that I could possibly help with. Cheers! P.S. You might consider joining WikiProject National Register of Historic Places;  whether you do or not, please feel free to post questions or comments or requests at its Talk page (shorcut wp:NRHP). -- do ncr  am  21:36, 16 March 2011 (UTC)
