Pole vault
Hi Pat, thanks for your contribution to pole vault. However, I've reverted it because it is not written in an encyclopedic style. Wikipedia articles should be written in the passive voice and the word "you" should be avoided. See the Manual of Style, particularly the sections about grammar and vocabulary. Also, forums are not reliable sources for Wikipedia's purposes. Graham 87 15:27, 18 April 2012 (UTC)
