 * I just took a look at the revert. A bunch of stuff was good, but the photogallery was untested, didn't work, and can't be used like that.  The images, as I understand it, should be located in Commons, to start.  Second, they've got to be either PD or available for this use.  Third, galleries containing just a collection of fairly random pictures are depreciated.  Instead, there's a way to link to Commons for pictures using a common category related to the subject of an article.  That's the currently "blessed" way to add a bunch of images, unless you can relate them specifically with the text, in which case they should be added to the text, not to a gallery.  I hope you aren't too frustrated to continue, as it looks like a good starting attempt.  If I were you, I'd test in a sandbox page off your user page first, then move changes to the actual article.  This is how I've done it when I made major changes to an article, or developed a new article from scratch.  Enjoy. - Denimadept (talk) 05:33, 17 March 2011 (UTC)
