Mississippian pottery
Would mind reformatting the footnotes in your additions to this article, Mississippian culture pottery, to match to already existing formating style? Thanks.  He  iro 21:45, 15 April 2011 (UTC) Hello  He  iro. Thanks for the welcome. I am trying to figure out how to modify the 'reflist' and will correct my contributions on Mississippian culture pottery as soon as I can. Thanks for any and all assistance.

MGMillion loves Mississippian pottery Pottery is really cool! and that would display as MGMillion loves Mississippian pottery Pottery is really cool!
 * Hello MGMillion, to modify the reflist you must put the reference in as an inline citation after the material you are referencing. For example if I were to say MGMillion likes pottery and cite it i would say


 * So essentially what you need to do is move the references from where you put them and put them beside what you took from it in the article. If you need any more help, some more examples, or you want me to do it please let me know.  @ d \/\/ | | | Talk 16:38, 17 April 2011 (UTC)


 * Hello, Mr Million, sorry it's taken me a minute to get back to you, its sunday and real life was calling. I've reformatted the cites in the article in question. If you look, you'll now notice bluelinked numbers where your citations were in the text body, if you click those, it takes you to the relevant citation in the reflist. (if you go here Template messages/Sources of articles/Citation quick reference there are a number of premade templates for making these kinds of footnotes for a number of different publications such as books, journals, web, papers, etc) I've also reworded some of your text to make it read as more of an encyclopedia article than a personal essay. Thanks for all you've added, I was hoping a professional would pop in some day and help flesh out the article. I'd be interested in reading your work that you cited in the article, I'll have to look for it sometime. If you need any other help with editing here, drop me a note here User talk:Heironymous Rowe at my talk page, and I'll be glad to help in any way I can, cheers,  He  iro 21:05, 17 April 2011 (UTC)

Hello  He  iro and thank you so much for making the necessary changes to my modified section! I apologize that I have not been able to get back to this chore until now... I see the results of your work and will strive to do my homework better for next time and get the citations formatted correctly. I have a few photos from that era of my research and illustrations done by an artist also; I will study up on the requirements to upload them to the 'Commons' area within Wikipedia (I believe that is the proper destination). I also have a .pdf of my 'Chapter 20' reference which I could upload to a server I maintain if you are interested in reading it and/or storing it for further use if you feel that is appropriate. I hope to become an adept Wiki contributor and much appreciate your time and tutoring ;) MGMillion
