User talk:Confederate171

Welcome!

Hello, Confederate171, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one of your contributions 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 my talk page. Again, welcome! Dougweller (talk) 05:49, 30 June 2012 (UTC)

So far your edits have: 1. Added something about the war ending in an occupation of the CSA - against our NPOV policy 2. Broken the formatting badly in the infobox, virtually destroying it - and the link to Danville didn't work because Virginia starts with a capital letter - I've fixed this, leaving Danville in 3. And inexplicably breaking the format again by adding ]]]]]] to the first line of the article, which simmply looks like vandalism. Dougweller (talk) 06:06, 30 June 2012 (UTC)
