Thank you
Thank you for your message; and thank you for your patience while I learn to better use the wiki software - Paul
Couple of wiki things
Make sure if you are writing your articles in Word or some such that you have the smart quotes feature turned off. Smart quotes (or curly quotes) and the wiki software don't always play well together. Also, the only place you need to sign your work is in talk pages, you don't need and shouldn't add a signature line to actual articles. --LadyShelley 05:09, 8 November 2007 (GMT)
Spoiler tags
You asked how to use the spoiler tags: {{spoiler|Book Titles}} Make sure you're using the curly brakcets instead of the squared ones. --LadyShelley 00:59, 9 November 2007 (GMT)
Chesapeake image
We need to know where the image of the Chesapeake you loaded came from, please. --LadyShelley 01:33, 16 March 2008 (GMT)
Chesapeake picture
Right. I should have explained. I lifted it from Wikipedia. Here's the link --
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Chesapeake.jpg
The image page in Wikipedia identified the picture as follows: "This image is a work of a sailor or employee of the U.S. Navy, taken or made during the course of the person's official duties. As a work of the U.S. federal government, the image is in the public domain."
By the way, I did not use the Wikipedia article as a source for any of the content that I added to the WikiPobia page. I had not even read it before I made the substantive additions and changes to the WikiPobia article. I just took the picture from it.Paulster13 04:18, 17 March 2008 (GMT)
