Hi there, Iglonghurst, and welcome to Wikipedia! I'm a regular contributor here, and when I notice on the recent changes log that a new editor has registered, I like to send them a welcome message - that's how I ended up on your talk page.
If you've never edited here before, there are a few useful links that you might want to look at, designed to help newcomers learn the ropes:
Here are a few features of Wikipedia that I find particularly helpful:
There are plenty of other features and facets of Wikipedia, many of which I probably haven't even discovered myself, so have fun looking around and finding them.
If you need help, check out
Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my
talk page, or place {{helpme}}
on your talk page and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions.
Again, welcome! - Tapir Terrific, 18:46, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
You added to Fucine Lake that Emperor Hadrian succeeded in draining the lake. Do you have a source for this? Everything I've read says that it was first drained in recent times. Did the lake subsequently re-fill or something? -- Stemonitis 06:58, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
Hi. You
added some debunking material to this article awhile back. It was recently deleted but I just
restored it (this time to the "Criticism" section) since I think it could be useful. While "Wikipedia has no opinion of its' own", such criticisms can be included if they have been made by others that meet Wikipedia's requirements for credibility. I'm sure there are plenty of professional historians that have made these points; can you support these comments with footnotes, in-line links or references on the talk page? Right now, your material is fair game for Menzies fans to delete but with proper sourcing the burden of proving why your stuff should be deleted shifts to them and it will likely be a very heavy burden (assuming you're citing more than some kid's blog).
Thanks,
