I saw your message on Chevymontecarlo's talk page, and I've tried to improve the article a bit.


 * Picture - I tried hard to find one that we could use, but I couldn't see an acceptable copyright status; the 1907 picture is probably from a postcard, and if we could show that it was actually published back in 1907, we could use it as public domain based on age. However, I can't find evidence it was...and the publication date is the essential factor; if it was not actually published until much later, we can't claim public domain; see Commons:Commons:Public domain. Copyright is complex; I doubt we can claim Fair-use, because it is possible that a free alternative exists. In conclusion...I doubt we can use a picture, unless we can get more evidence of its copyright status or explicit permission. We might have to settle for the external link. See also Finding images tutorial.


 * References - it would help if you could add more inline references - if you put a ref on the end of each sentence, it is clear where each fact comes from. You can use one reference many times, as a 'named reference';

Chzz was born in 1837.

Chzz lives in Footown.


 * Note that the second usage has a / (and no closing ref tag). Please see user:chzz/demo/namedref to see the result.


 * Hope that helps a bit.  Chzz  ► 04:29, 29 August 2010 (UTC)
