when using a template like this, you should add the information on the article page where the template is being used - don't try to add it o the template itself, otherwise you will goof up large numbers of other pages. let me know if I need to explain more fully. -- Ludwigs 2 20:42, 12 April 2010 (UTC)


 * ok, watch what I do on the Frank McKetta page (use the history tab to see a diff). I'll edit in the material that you accidentally put into the template.  -- Ludwigs 2  20:52, 12 April 2010 (UTC)


 * now, look at the page and the changes I made to the template. all I did was add in material after the equals signs (e.g. |placeofbirth = Wayno, Pennsylvania and |placeofdeath = Camphill, Pennsylvania, and the template takes care of the rest.  pretty much all templates work that way - the word following the | is a parameter name, which acts like a variable, the text following the equals sign is that value for that variable on that particular use.  read the first part of Help:Template for more information.  -- Ludwigs 2  20:56, 12 April 2010 (UTC)


 * P.s. - you can respond here - I'll see it, no worries. -- Ludwigs 2  20:57, 12 April 2010 (UTC)

okay, I've gone through it and made a few fixes. Your lead was really too long, and too detailed, so it's trimmed down. You had a mix of inline parenthetical cites and refs cites, so I made them all refs. I also added a couple of links from other pages, but you should do more of this. added a chart to the PA State Police page, listing the commissioners and added him into it. Don't be afraid to add him in. You'll need to refer to him as McKetta or Frank McKetta, not Colonel Mcketta, and certainly not Frank. I think I've deleted all the Franks, but when you read it again, make sure. I added the proper citation on his book as well. You could have looked that up yourself. I'd like you to go through it again, and really do an edit job on it. Many sections are confusing, especially the one where his son was attacked by suits at Pitt. That needs to be much more clearly stated. Auntieruth55 (talk) 23:12, 15 April 2010 (UTC)
