Note

When citing sources try to give enough information that someone can find that source regardless of the method used to find it or reference an image in the photo section. Where there is a known Wiki ID for a person named in this section try to provide a link to that person. List contributors, with links (if possible), are listed in "Acknowledgments".

Using an asterisk before adding information will maintain the events in a bullet format. Double asterisk s will indent related events. A colon (:) will indent text (such as in this “Note” section). Double colons will double indent text. The first time you use a citation, use <ref name="nametag"> Descriptive Text</ref> where "nametag" is what you want to use for the name of the tag & "Descriptive Text" is your source citation. From then on use <ref name="nametag"/> to cite that citation as many times as needed. This will automatically add to the "Source List".

If you are adding information I would appreciate your following these guidelines. If you have any questions feel free to contact me. Gary H White
