Government Contracts
Welcome to Wikipedia. We are happy to have you. I think the article you created is quite good. Some minor suggestions: (1.) You may want to reword the portions of the opening paragraphs that seem to imply the article is intended to be a type of instruction. The policy of What Wikipedia is not precludes "tutorials, walk-throughs, instruction manuals", etc. While a thorough reading of the article seems to indicate it does not fall into this category, this implication in the opening paragraphs could cause some editors to nominate the article for deletion. I think it would be better to present the topic as fact and avoid trying to frame it in any particular way. (2.) Manual of Style indicates, "Capitalize the first letter only of the first word and of any proper nouns in a heading, and leave all of the other letters in lowercase." Thus, it seems the article should be moved to Government contracts. If you disagree please let me know. If you don't respond I will move it for you. Thanks for your contributions.

 * This is in response to your question about links. When the move button is used, it will automatically convert the original page into a redirect page, so that anyone searching for it (or linked to it) would be automatically routed to the renamed page. However, Wikipedia asks us to correct any double-redirects that are created by a move.


 * On the left side of each screen is a section called "toolbox". The first choice is "What links here". When you click on this tool, you will see a list of all pages that have links to the article that is open in the main window. This is a good tool to use before moving a page to see how much work would be involved in performing a move. Also, after using the "move" button, you will be presented with a screen that asks you to use a specific link to check for any double-redirects caused by the move. By clicking on each listed item, you would be presented with an article that needs to be fixed. These fixes would need to be done manually in each article.


 * In Goverment Contracts, there is only one link to the page (the above link on this user talk page.) All links that are in the article to other articles will automatically move with the article. In this case I don't think there will be any problems. Even if problems are created, a full history is kept so they can always be undone. I won't move this article yet, in case you would like to try to do it yourself. I can check it later for any problems. If you have any other questions, feel free to leave me a note.

 * Per your request, I moved the page. All of the links appear to be o.k. Contrats on a good article. Accurizer 21:29, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
