Emmaville
Hallo Elizabeth and thank you for editing the article on Emmaville, New South Wales. I take an interest in the article because some of my husband's relatives lived there for a few years before returning to Cornwall (tin-mining connection there).

A couple of things to note: when you do any editing it's worth taking a few minutes to read it through afterwards and look for typos. I fixed "lazier" to "grazier" for you, and added the missing "h" of an "http" link which was totally messing up that reference.

It's also worth looking out for existing articles on people. I noticed that you'd said that Thomas James Richards was an Olympian, and all Olympians have or could have a WP article, so I rummaged around and found him as Tom Richards (rugby union0. I've made a "redirect" from his full name to that article title. Similarly for Charles Scherf. Frank Coughlan, on the other hand, didn't have an article but I've created a short stub for him and am sure that some jazz enthusiast will improve it. I wasn't so sure about the fourth chap, certainly no existing article. Links between articles are one of the joys of Wikipedia, so it's worth searching carefully for existing articles to link to.

There's a lot to learn about editing Wikipedia, but it's an interesting journey. Enjoy your editing! Pam D  08:37, 30 March 2015 (UTC)
