Hello, Paula, and welcome to Wikipedia -- what's above is a canned message, but sincere, nonetheless. I saw the note you left on Spectacle Island (Massachusetts) and moved it to Talk:Spectacle Island (Massachusetts) which is the appropriate place for discussion of the article.

Wikipedia is built on the principle that all material must be verifiable from outside sources so, if your father's material includes sourced information with citations to outside sources, then by all means it would be helpful, If, on the other hand it is personal reminiscences, even though they might be both accurate and interesting, there is no good place for them on Wikipedia.

Wikipedia is a do it yourself project, so if you have good material, with sources, by all means add it to the article. Preview your edits before clicking on the "save page" button. Also click on "Watch this article" and then from time to time click on "My Watchlist" (at the top of every page) to see if any of those of us who keep an eye on the page have made changes to your work. If I can be helpful, click on the "talk" in my signature and leave a message at the bottom of my talk page. Go to it. . . . . Jim. . . . Jameslwoodward (talk • contribs) 18:45, 10 February 2010 (UTC)
