Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, but when you add or change content, as you did to the article DeLand, Florida, please cite a reliable source for your addition. This helps maintain our policy of verifiability. See Citing sources for how to cite sources, and the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. -- Donald Albury 00:49, 15 May 2012 (UTC)

Thank you for letting me know. I looked into the citation area, but could not find the format to cite this. In this case, I went directly to the person who began this and who is mentioned in what I wrote - James W. Knox. I asked him in a face-to-face conversation on Thursday, May 10, 2012 what year this began in DeLand. "1985" was his answer. Can you point me to where I can find the proper way to format such a source? I found how to source using the usual published material, but a personal interview was something I couldn't find. Thank you very much. Stephenmcgehee (talk) 01:39, 15 May 2012 (UTC)
