POW camp

Thanks for contributing that article. It's quite interesting and I look forward to seeing how the article progresses. Please don't be offended by the "cleanup" tags I placed there, mostly what needs to be done is just making it comport with Wikipedia's style and footnoting guidelines. Let me know if you need any help. — e. ripley\^talk 17:24, 28 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I appreciate all your help. I really appreciate it. And I do need help with it. Since I accidently deleted it once, I am a little leery of trying to make the changes myself. I wish you had classes that showed a newbie how to do the things the Wikipedia way that were hands on with a Wikipedia editor. Again thank you so much. The German Prisoner of war camp in Hoopeston is one I wanted on your site for others to be able to use and maybe expand on other camps to add.Chicks14 (talk) 15:14, 8 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

German Prisoner of War Camp, Hoopeston, Illinois

Hi, I fixed the <ref>s you put to German Prisoner of War Camp, Hoopeston, Illinois. Next time, you should use preview to make sure you did what you meant to. Also, “United States Department of Justice.” is not a valid reference. References are for verification, so they should point to some kind of document, like book, newspaper article or a webpage, but not an organization. Svick (talk) 14:38, 8 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. I appreciate so much the help everyone has given to me with this article. It is greatly appreciated.Chicks14 (talk) 15:17, 8 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
