Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. Regarding your edits to Stephen G. Larson, it is recommended that you use the preview button before you save; this helps you find any errors you have made, reduces edit conflicts, and prevents clogging up recent changes and the page history. Thank you. ''Your edit created lots of mistakes. For example, all of the categories were removed, which eliminates a useful indexing tool. Please take the Wikipedia tutorial on editing to learn more about how to do these things properly. Do minor edits in order to learn and use the preview button to see how your efforts are working out.'' S. Rich (talk) 01:31, 5 September 2012 (UTC)

Thank you. Will do. Lambert2020 (talk) 01:51, 5 September 2012 (UTC)


 * Here is a link to the tutorial. WP:T.--S. Rich (talk) 02:39, 5 September 2012 (UTC)

Thank you, sir. We've gone ahead and posted the changes. Please take a look. I believe we covered everything. Again, I very much appreciate your feedback and suggestions. All my best. Lambert2020 (talk) 02:54, 5 September 2012 (UTC)


 * Much better. Two items:
 * One, instead of links like this (http://members.calbar.ca.gov/fal/Member/Detail/145225), put them into a bracketed format like this: California State Bar Membership Records . It will look like this: California State Bar Membership Records. That way the reader sees a descriptive clickable link and makes for a more elegant footnote.
 * Two, and this is more important, click on the photo of Larson you up-loaded. You will find it has been tagged for possible deletion for copyright violation. This is an area that I don't know much about, but I think you will "loose" the photo unless you can establish that you are the person who took the photo or have the rights from the originator to post the photo.  But then a big wrinkle comes into play. The wrinkle is that Arent Fox probably owns the photo, so you may be connected with them.  (Are you?) If so, then WP:COI comes into play. Even so, info from the firm info about Larson (who is a partner) verges on advertising and self-publishing, which are big no-nos in WP.--S. Rich (talk) 03:38, 5 September 2012 (UTC)

Thanks. Again, much appreciated. I'm a longtime journalist in this area, and am moving toward social media. To do so, I better understand Wikipedia, right Anyway, I appreciate the guidance, and will figure out the photo here. Best Lambert2020 (talk) 03:48, 5 September 2012 (UTC)

Great suggestions on the footnotes. Lambert2020 (talk) 04:21, 5 September 2012 (UTC)
