 * Thanks for your reply to my Cape York Peninsula posting and the welcome message on my talk page + links to editing/style pages. I can definitely use some help on that!
 * One question: You say "So long as what you add is your own work, and not copied from somewhere else, then you are free to contribute." Nothing that I've got is my own work, but everything is taken from references. I thought the point of wikipedia was NOT to include original work and keep everything verifiable by references?? Can you please clarify what you mean by that?
 * I try to post my entry on Cape York Peninsula today - if I manage to work out the editing format!

 * Hi. You're quite right; everything should be verifiable by references. But you have to write stuff in your own words, rather than copy-pasting other people's words verbatim. But I guess you already knew that, judging by the intelligence of your question. I apologise if my advice not to copy-paste was patronising, and therefore confusing.
