Tone and sources
Hi. There's a lot to learn around here and I wanted to give you a few links that might help shed some light on how to go about things. The first is how to write for this encyclopedia; like how we write in a formal tone. The other thing is about how to put together references. I hope these are beneficial to you. Thanks and have a good evening. Dawnseeker2000  01:04, 13 June 2010 (UTC)

THANKS for the warning! I am new to this. Do not intend to do much of this anyway. My Father built the very first sign for Britton Plaza. I have this historic photo, and actually it is now in a museum in Tampa. I thought it would be very appropriate to direct users to my book, which includes this photo. I am not well-versed in the "RULES" about Wiki-pages, so frankly if this is something I should not be doing, that is fine with me and I will not attempt this again. HOWEVER I am going to offer the option to WIKIPEDIA of displaying my historic photo of Britton Plaza (the one in the museum) which I of course hold the copyright on. If there is a way to display the photo please let me know. Thanks! - John Cinchett —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.98.207.38 (talk) 13:12, 13 June 2010 (UTC)


 * Yes you can certainly upload the picture. Wikipedia is directing folks to upload "free" pictures and other items to Wikimedia Commons because the picture is one that you created yourself. That is partly so it can be shared throughout the multiple-language Wikipedia projects. Let me know if you have any more questions; I will be glad to answer them.

Good idea! THANKS so much! Some day when I have more time, I would like to make some good contributions to historical Tampa area data. My research has brought me a wealth of interesting facts and photos. Appreciate the info!

Hello again Dawnseeker2000 - when you have a moment can you guide me along another page. It is for Sulphur Springs Tampa FL. I was attempting to add in a reference list addition and succeeeded, but it does not appear numbered correctly. I think the problem is that on that page we have the external links and references on the same page and it does not appear correctly. My intention was to add the reference and then link it with the book identified. But I cannot figure out how to do this. HELP!!!
