User talk:Alcatraz1889

Welcome
Welcome!

Hello, Alcatraz1889, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, does not conform to Wikipedia's Neutral Point of View policy (NPOV). Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations that have been stated in print or on reputable websites or other forms of media.

There's a page about the NPOV policy that has tips on how to effectively write about disparate points of view without compromising the NPOV status of the article as a whole. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type   on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers: I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, check out Where to ask a question or ask me on. Again, welcome! Yopie 17:58, 9 February 2009 (UTC)

Thanks Yopie -

Sorry - as a newbie it took several tries to figure out the footnoting / reference tool. (Not even sure if I am using this User Talk thing right).

My contributions may still be a little ragged, but hopefully they add to the page with a few sources. I may have some more primary sources if I dig a little more.

I can't figure out from your talk whether anything I posted does not conform to the NPOV guidelines. I can't think of anything that is opinion or non-neutral in my post. Let me know if there is a specific "fact" I added that needs additional support and I'll do my best to find neutral references.

Thanks for the help,
