Many new Wikipedia editors aren't familiar with our policy that information on Wikipedia must be based on reliable sources. You're obviously not one of those: great job on sourcing pretty much everything you put on and finding sources for things other people put on without sources! If you continue editing Wikipedia very often, you'll have a much easier and more successful time because you understand proper sourcing.

Just one thing: I saw that you cut-and-pasted the content of DeWitt, Iowa to De Witt, Iowa. That's a small problem: not because it's wrong to have pages at different names, but because it's difficult to understand the page history if a "cut-and-paste move", like this, has been done. It's not really difficult to fix, and as an administrator, I can undo these merges, so don't think you've ruined anything. I too did this when I was new, so don't think I'm looking down on you :-) It's actually easier to move a page than that; if you look at the article, you'll see that there's a "Move" tab just a little bit right of the "edit this page" tab, and moving a page that way is faster and simpler than cutting and pasting. In case you want to learn more about moving pages, check out this help page.

The question of the correct name for the article (DeWitt or De Witt) is different, and not a problem. Another Wikipedia editor and I believe that the article should be at DeWitt, because the city's website seems to list it that way; but that doesn't mean that you're "wrong". If you think it would be better to have the article at De Witt, Iowa, there's an easy process to follow: you can go to the "Requested Moves" page, where plenty of people will see it and be able to participate in deciding where the page should be. If you want to do it, go ahead; I'll not be unhappy, and indeed it would be wrong for me to be unhappy.

Any questions about using Wikipedia? Feel free to answer; I've been here long enough that I can answer many questions, and I know where to point you if I can't answer the question myself. Nyttend (talk) 13:14, 22 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
