Pierre Robin syndrome
Thanks for your edits to the Pierre Robin syndrome article. They are a good improvement to the article.

Some things to keep in mind, however, when adding information to Wikipedia that you neglected on those edits:


 * You don't need to put your signature ( --~ ) in article contributions, just on talk page discussions. The article should read like, well, an article, and having a signature plopped in the middle of it kinda spoils the mood.  :)  Besides, people know who added an edit just by viewing the edit history of the page, so those contributions will forever be recorded as yours.


 * When putting in a fair amount of information, such as you did there, it's helpful if you cite your sources and put them as a footnote. Not only does it add to the scholarly nature of the article, but it also might prevent someone from claiming that you did "original research" to create your comments.  (Check the link above to learn how to cite references, or find a well-established article of a generous length (just choose a topic that you know would have a big article in an encyclopedia, like World War II, or Italy) and take a look at the tags used (by clicking "edit" and viewing the source) to get an idea of how they cite sources.)  Yes, I often forget to do this myself, because I'm still learning how to do so.

Look forward to seeing more contributions of the high standard that those were! --Canuckguy 02:37, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
