Greetings
Just noted your recent edit adding the Ft. Atkinson stuff to the Nebraska article. I've gone in and done a bit of cleaning up on that: moved the material so that it was more in chronological order, added a Wikilink (internal link) for Ft. Atkinson, and removed the National Historic Landmark material, which didn't really fit in the "History" section (and which is available at the Ft. Atkinson article).

I see that this is your only edit to date, so perhaps I'm drawing a rash conclusion; but if you're particularly interested in material relating to Nebraska history, it's an area that could use a lot of work. We've got all too few editors who're working on Nebraska at all, and it'd be an excellent thing to have some new ones.

One minor technical point: let me call your attention to the "Show preview" button at the bottom of the edit screen, right next to the "Save page" button. If you hit that, you can see what your edits look like before you've actually saved them. I'm guessing that you didn't know about it, because it looks like you tried to make the Ft. Atkinson bit a separate paragraph, but didn't succeed. (You have to double-space between paragraphs; a single return won't do it.)

If you're new to this editing business and have any questions about it, please feel to drop me a line at my talk page. Just click on the "talk" in my signature; then, once you get there, edit it like a normal WP page. I'm not exactly an old Wikipedia hand, but I've been editing for close to two years, so I've worked through a few of the new-user problems and would be glad to help you do the same.
