re: mentor
Hi - sorry to be so brief but I'm recovering from the flu. I'll be pleased to be your mentor. I'll leave a longer message on Sunday or Monday. Thanks and welcome! :-)  K rakatoa  K atie   03:06, 22 January 2011 (UTC)

Talkback
Hi! I was wondering if you could look over my page (the Uniform State Narcotic Drug Act) to see if there is anything else I should add or anything you think I should change. I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks Feurerkm (talk) 18:44, 22 March 2011 (UTC)

Fellow student peer-editing your page
Hey there, My name is Spencer and it looks like I'll be doing some editing on your page for our class. - The Bureau of Prohibition is empty so obviously it looks like you want to add to it. I was checking out the history of the bureau and I am trying to figure out the direct relevance. It's now the ATF (Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms) and is on a federal level and very integral to regulation of such activities discussed in your article. So wouldn't it be better to call it the ATF as opposed to the Bureau of Prohibition because the B of P was more for alcohol? Just trying to understand it all, you sure did put a lot of time into it!

p.s. I'm not sure where this grey box with the blue outline came from our how to get rid of it... Sadams90 (talk) 20:39, 16 March 2011 (UTC)

Comments
Hello! I don't have much time right now, but a few comments for you... your text is too close to the source in places (e.g. "The Smoking Opium Exclusion Act of 1909 banned the importation, possession, and use of "smoking opium." = what is in the source; see Wikipedia Signpost/2009-04-13/Dispatches). Your references should be formatted consistently, feel free to ask me if you need help with that. If you aren't going to put your books in a bibliography, you don't need it. :-) What's up with the empty "Anslinger" section? The "Accomplishments" section should be made into prose rather than a list. Just my thoughts according to what I see in normal Wikipedia articles – not sure what your professor is looking for. But, you need to address the plagiarism issue sooner rather than later, okay? :-) Your friend, Ed [talk] [majestic titan] 03:13, 23 March 2011 (UTC)


 * Okay so I just added Anslinger so I haven't added text to that yet, but I am a little confused by your other comments. I would greatly appreciate help with my references and a bibliography because I am not sure how to do that! Also what does prose mean? I am sorry for so many questions, but I want to do this right! I thought I was citing my sources correctly, but I guess I'm not? Thanks for your time!! Feurerkm (talk) 14:38, 24 March 2011 (UTC)


 * I fixed the references quick for you. :-) A bibliography is a list of books and sometimes journal articles/websites used while writing an article, c.f. one of the articles I wrote, Minas Geraes-class battleship. You don't have to include one – all the relevant information can be located in the footnotes. "Prose" means sentences and paragraphs. No worries, keep asking questions as you have them. That's what I'm here for! Ed [talk] [majestic titan] 19:38, 24 March 2011 (UTC)


 * I think I fixed everything you mentioned! Please let me know what else I should do :) thanks so much! Feurerkm (talk) 23:35, 3 April 2011 (UTC)
