Hello, I'm North Shoreman. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.

 * I received your email re the above. Wikipedia does have an article covering prisoner exchanges -- see Dix–Hill Cartel. The material I reverted said, "During prisoner exchanges nothing was put on paper. The Union was paranoid about anything that could recognize the confederacy as a nation." In fact, properly sourced material from the article I referenced indicates that quite a bit was put on paper (and made public) about prisoner exchanges. The first sentence of your unsourced edit appears to be inaccurate; the second sentence is apparently your conclusion about this inaccurate material.
