 * Just wanted to note that I have blanked the article again to allow the verification process to complete so that we remain in compliance of WP:C. This is required because the copyright is not "explicitly disclaimed" at the site. Please see Donating copyrighted materials for elaboration of the processes set out above. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 15:32, 13 February 2009 (UTC)

Thank you for your contributions to the Minnesota State Law Library article. You appear to have valuable material to add, but there a couple things you should know. First, it is customary to sign talk pages, like this one, but Wikipedia articles are never signed. Second, the more you can cite the sources for your contributions, the more other people can verify and expand on your work. If I can help, let me know. Jonathunder (talk) 18:02, 4 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Could you tell me where you got the information you added to this article? Jonathunder (talk) 22:02, 4 May 2009 (UTC)

Happy Statehood Day! Thanks for your note on my talk page. I have visited the Minnesota Law Library and I love libraries in general, so I'd be happy to help improve the article on this institution. I am familiar with Wikipedia style, but you are, of course, much more familiar with the the subject. I was hoping you could post some references for the material in the article, whether it was drawn from books, journals, websites, or other sources. You can use any common citation format that works for you and I can make it work with Wiki syntax. Jonathunder (talk) 22:29, 11 May 2009 (UTC)
