Welcome
Hi MOHistorian, I saw you joined WikiProject Missouri, great to have you on board. In fact I was excited about your name, many Missouri and Midwestern History articles need lots of attention. Some good information about Wikipedia can be found at Five pillars and How to edit a page. You can sign your name on talk pages or WikiProject member logs by typing four tildes (~). Let me know if I can help you with anything and I'm eager to see what a professional historian could accomplish here. Thanks! Grey Wanderer (talk) 02:57, 4 December 2009 (UTC)


 * Thank you for the practical advice. I am new enough that I don't know all, really any of, the finer points including talk pages and WikiProject member logs.  My interests at the moment are to add external links to primary source materials and to possibly update lists and other core content.  At some point I can start filling in stub articles where I have some knowledge.  One thing that I already don't understand is how that there is no stub article for some entries when you search yet there are links to stubs in the text of other stubs or articles.  One I noticed last night was the Missouri State Archives in the Missouri Digital Heritage stub.MOHistorian (talk) 03:30, 5 December 2009 (UTC)


 * Cool, what you might be experiencing regarding searches is when you search an article you usually have to have the name exactly right including punctuation and format in order for you to find the article.  Sometimes Wikipedians use redirects to make article with slightly different names or capitalizations "redirect" to the actual article, for instance, Columbia, Mo redirects to Columbia, Missouri.  Happy editing! Grey Wanderer (talk) 03:04, 7 December 2009 (UTC)
