About those "brackets"...
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! Newly registered editors are supposed to receive an "official welcome message" from one of the people who have volunteered to do that sort of thing, but for some reason you don't seem to have gotten one... Don't know why, I'm not one of the people who have signed up to do that. In any event, be sure to take a look at the welcome page, which will point you to all sorts of pages that explain how to contribute to Wikipedia.

Now, about those "brackets" that you took care to remove when you edited History of Haiti... I'm not sure why you thought they should be deleted, but they serve an important function. They're Wikilinks, which link the bracketed terms to another WP article. Sometimes editors do place them on terms that shouldn't have them, but in this case, they were valid links (although the second linking of "coup d'etat" didn't need to be there, since it was a repeat of an earlier link). Stuff like this is explained on those pages I mentioned, for instance, in the Manual of Style.

If you have any question that you can't find an answer for somewhere, all you ever have to do is put, followed by your question, here on your talk page, and someone will come by and try to give you an answer. Good luck editing! Cgingold 13:20, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
