Thanks for the citation. I have included it in the article. Cheers.-- B C talk to me  22:45, 29 April 2009 (UTC)

North American Fur Trade
Allow me to add my welcome as well. Your background and interests could be very helpful in the article captioned above. Feel free to add any content, and for citations, just enclose them in brackets [url] and I will clean them up-- at least until you get the hang of it. For example, adding




 * will generate an inline link as follows:

. Clicking on the number will link you to the souce.

To generate a footnote encase the link, in brackets, within wiki markup as follows:

and you will generate a footnote with the name of the source rendering as a link.

For example, entering the following:

will render a footnote as follows:

For print sources, add the authors's name, book or article, and publisher to the "Sources" section, and the author's name, date of publication, and page number following the cited text. If you put a after it (note the slash) the reference will appear in the footnotes. Eg:


 * renders as:

As you can see, footnote numbers are generated automatically. Regards, Kablammo (talk) 20:36, 1 May 2009 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Mcardinal. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Mcardinal~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 01:43, 20 March 2015 (UTC)
