Verifiable information
Hi there. I want to let you know that, after much debating with myself, I've reverted your recent edit to Robert Fulton. The last thing I want to do is discourage you from editing, but you didn't give any source for the information that you added, so the reader has no way of knowing whether it's from a reliable source or if it's just something that someone made up for fun. Granted, the material that you replaced isn't sourced either (hence the intense self-debate), but I see no good reason to replace one bit of dubious information with another.

I've been working on the Fulton article, off and on, for a long time now and I'd love to have your help with it. If you know of a reliable source for your information (and other information as well, hopefully), absolutely feel free to re-add it. But be sure to tell where you got the information so that others will know that it is reliable. If you need help with citation format or any other issues, feel free to contact me any time and I'll be very happy to help. In the meantime, have a great week. -- edi  (talk)  16:52, 12 April 2009 (UTC)


 * I noticed you changed the Robert Fulton edit back, and I've also noticed that I owe you an apology. I do accept that your birthdate makes a lot more sense; to be honest, I didn't notice the correlation with other dates in the article until now.  I apologize for not looking at it more closely in the first place.  However, I'm still not sure why you're removing the place of birth information.  Is it incorrect as well?  And, again, do you have a source that we can cite for this information?  It would be great if we had one, and you seem very sure of your facts so I assume that you're getting them from some place that you trust.  I hope you'll share your source so the rest of us can be equally sure.  And, seriously... thanks for your help. :) --  edi  (talk)  20:38, 12 April 2009 (UTC)
