Move request
You added a template to Charles Jerome Hopkins, which I removed, as you have moved it to article space already.

You've done a considerable amount of work on this article; I think it will be a fine addition to Wikipedia. However, I have a few suggestions, some of which are necessary:
 * You used level three sections rather than level two. Level two are standard for sections like this. I'll make the change. If you had a particular reason for choosing level three, please explain.
 * The first use of the article name should be bold, I did that for you.
 * The opening picture should be right justified. I can find the rule if you want to see it, if you don't know how to do this, see WP:IMAGE or ask me for help.
 * You have a lot of references, this is excellent, as referencing is one of the toughest challenges for new editors. However, you need to see WP:CITE and footnotes to see how to do them properly. Or ask me, and I'll help. -- SPhilbrick  T  00:35, 24 May 2010 (UTC)

Help with images and proper page justification
Thank you for your feedback re: the article on Charles Jerome Hopkins. I do want this to be the best article it can be, so yes, please help!! I have read the instructions re: placing images, but I am not able to correctly align the photograph. Could you type out for me the proper language and I will correct the article. That way I shall learn the proper syntax and won't have the same problem the next time I want to place an image in an article. Thanks!! Lee "Alunaj9"

Successfully Aligned Photograph
I figured it out... thank you for your help!!

Wow... this can be the daunting part of the project!! Yes, I have found some good tips to begin to properly format my references and citations. This is something I shall begin work on within the next day or two for the Charles Jerome Hopkins article. Thank you for providing me with valuable feedback!!
