Chapmans Pool
The personal reminiscences you added to the Chapmans Pool article are non-encyclopedic and don't quite live up to Wikipedia standards. I performed a revision, which I then undid in favor of discussing the matter with you first. You can look at the history for that page and see my revisions for a more "wikipedia-like" version of the article.WikiDan61 (talk) 12:39, 22 August 2008 (UTC)

Permit me to reiterate that personal reminiscences are NOT appropriate content for inclusion in Wikipedia. Your information about the Manganese Oxide found among the Kimmeridge shale clay is useful, and a link to the sunken steamship (as I provided in my version) would be appropriate. Information about the survivors of that wreckage is NOT germane to this article, and shuold be inlcuded in an article about that wreck itself. Your personal reminiscinces about your experiences at this location are NOT appropriate, nor are your apologies for poor grammar. While wikipedia encourages all uses to contribute, it also encourages a standard style, and your article does not meet this style.WikiDan61 (talk) 13:21, 22 August 2008 (UTC)
