Chin Ce
That's great - I've merged the two articles under Chin Ce, which conforms with Wikipedia naming standards. (We only use qualifiers in parentheses when there are two people or things under the same name.) One important question: What is the source for the content you wrote? Did it come from a book you have? I can't find anything like that online. Thanks! | Klaw ¡digame! 15:50, 24 February 2006 (UTC)

Citing sources
There are a couple of ways to do it. The best place to start is Citing sources, which talks about all the different ways to cite. There's a separate style guide for footnotes, which describes a brand-new system for footnotes that just went into effect a few weeks ago. Give those a whirl, and don't worry too much about making a mistake. I've got the page on my watchlist, so if you make a technical error I can help you fix it. Thanks! | Klaw ¡digame! 16:23, 25 February 2006 (UTC)
 * OK, I just had a look at the source you cited for Chin Ce. In general, copying something wholesale from another site or source is a copyright violation. However, the africaresearch.info Web site appears to allow such copying - here's the notice from the page bottom:
 * Copyright ©2002 Progeny Africa Research Int.  Materials or information in this website may be used for research or other purposes and must be endorsed:  "Reprinted  with permission of   www.africaresearch.info."
 * So I'm going to add that tag to the bottom of the article as well. I think you're on the right track. Just be careful with your sources - if you find a source that doesn't allow reprinting, you'll have to rewrite the information in your own words. I'll take a look at Elechi Amadi next. Keep up the good work and please keep asking me questions as they come up. I'm thrilled to see someone knowledgeable in African literature working on the project. | Klaw ¡digame! 14:55, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

New articles?
That's great - can you tell me which articles you'd like me to look over? | Klaw ¡digame! 03:24, 4 March 2006 (UTC)
