User talk:Garry Eaton

January 2012
Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, but when you add or change content, as you did to the article Cyrus S. Eaton, please cite a reliable source for your addition. This helps maintain our policy of verifiability. See Citing sources for how to cite sources, and the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Δρ.Κ. λόγοςπράξις 22:04, 9 January 2012 (UTC)

Assuming that the edits from Special:Contributions/98.191.112.114 were yours, please be aware that you are NOT permitted to add commentary to a Wikipedia as you did in. If you wish to make comments or ask questions, it should be on the article's talk page, not the article itself. You were saying that you couldn't get in touch with User:Dr.K., but you could have done so merely by clicking on the links he provided in his signature on his message above. If you click on them you will see that one link goes to his user page, and the other to his user talk page; admittedly he may have confused you with his use of Greek characters. (Contributions to talk pages should always be signed with clickable links, and you forgot to do so in your own message below.)

You can also get to an editor's links and contribution history through the relevant links in the history of the article he has edited, such as here or here.

As you are obviously still learning, I'll include a few more useful links:

Welcome!

 * I don't think he got confused because he addressed me as Dr.K. rather than Δρ.Κ. I think he added a comma after the "K" in Dr.K. instead of a period and couldn't find the correct username. See this. Δρ.Κ. λόγοςπράξις  20:37, 10 January 2012 (UTC)

How to add hyperlinks
Hi Garry. You have done some really extensive work in the article but the hyperlinks are not working properly. First, you don't put little square brackets like [1], [2] or [3] when you cite facts. These are supposed to be generated automatically when you insert the hyperlinks in the proper format. So for example, let's say you want to cite the fact that Cyrus Eaton was born in Nova Scotia. You don't write: "Cyrus Eaton was born on a farm near the village of Pugwash in Cumberland County, Nova Scotia, Canada, in 1883.[1]" You write: " Cyrus Eaton was born in Manitoba. " and then this will appear at the end of the article automatically when you add  at the end of the article. Simply do not add the  tags. Example: "Cyrus Eaton was born in Manitoba. "

The real hyperlinks will appear as follows:
