Maya Angelou
Salnac, I'm sure you noticed that I reverted your edits to this article. Let me tell you why. Many of the edits you made didn't have reliable sources; for example, you inserted that Angelou graduated from the Lafayette County Training School, but you failed to cite the source. I believe that it this the name of the elementary school she graduated from, but you inserted the information in the middle of a discussion about her graduation from high school. You also refer to Dr. Angelou as "Maya", when a look at the article's discussion page, which has a discussion about the appropriate way to refer to her in the article. Finally, you utilize block quotes without the use of appropriate citations. The use of extended quotes in encyclopedia articles is inappropriate; please see WP:Quote.

Thanks for your boldness in editing this article. However, I'd suggest that you read some of the tips highlighted in the above welcome message. Again, welcome to Wikipedia, and I hope that you continue to edit the encyclopedia. --Figureskatingfan (talk) 05:29, 5 August 2008 (UTC)
