I am somewhat hesitant and it may take me a long time to feel my way around. I am an old troglodyte and this new medium is a little daunting. I introduce myself to the editing process when someone quoted an article to prove a point. The point he was trying to prove was incorrect. The Wiki article contained the correct information, but it was in an internal link the reader hadn't followed. I added a sentence to bring this information into the main body of the article. Since then, I have edited a few articles (three or four) to improve clarity in language or elegance in style. Wiki is a great resource, and I hope its integrity can be preserved and improved.Rindahl (talk) 19:33, 4 May 2008 (UTC) I don't know how to find your talk page and I don't know how to open a new discussion on an article and I don't know how to make a note on an article. In the article on Abolitionism, under the Contemporary Abolitionism section, there is an unsupported claim that the United States Department of Justice has prosecuted (since 1997) six individuals on charges of slavery in the agricultural industry. I'd like to know where this can be verified; the author ought to have cited a source. Rindahl (talk) 23:29, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

Canadian vowels
I would transcribe the Canadian monophthongal vowels in see, hay, and toe as i, e, and o respectively. These vowels are represented in other dialects as diphthongs. Rindahl (talk) 02:00, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
