Hello,

I am about ready to accept this article now that you have added inline citations. However, I have a few comments and suggestions. I have once again changed the markup from html style to wiki markup, which is the prefered choice for articles. From WikiProject Wikify, "Replace HTML tags with wiki markup, where available. Use of HTML tags is discouraged where equivalent wiki markup exists: for example, replace   with  . However, HTML is permitted where no corresponding wiki markup exists: e.g.,   for subscripts and   for a non-breaking space. See Help:Wikitext examples for a useful list of common wikitext and appropriate HTML markup."

In a previous edit I added a few wikilinks which you appear to have removed, may I suggest that you add some of your own. Articles should be wikified if they contain few or no links to other articles ("wikilinks"), contain HTML tags that should be replaced with wiki markup, or need reformatting to conform to Wikipedia's formatting guidelines. Otherwise, when the article is in the mainspace, it will be tagged with a Wikify cleanup template. Since you know the subject best this would be a fairly easy and useful task. Just add double square brackets " " around terms you wish to be links.

I have also changed and reformatted the references so they appear within tags. This makes the citation into an footnote and lists it under the section "Citations", making it easy for the reader to find. References can also be named so that they group together. Have a look at the article Golondrina point (which I have been actively involved in editing) for an example of this. Also take a look at Citation_templates which should give you an idea of the potential of this referencing system.

I hope I haven't overwhelmed you with too much information. I know that the editing process can at times be very confusing and complex to understand. But I certainly see that you are getting the hang of it. If you have any questions or would like some additional feedback or editing help my talk page, User talk:France3470 is always open (or you can simply reply here, I am watching the page). You might also want to consider trying for WP:DYK. Good luck, France3470 (talk) 16:07, 16 May 2011 (UTC)
