Hello Mirelis,

I read the changes you made to United States and the International Criminal Court. Your changes seem productive and useful. Good work.

Please note that the Manual of Style recommends against adding Wikilinks to quotations, as you did in the first paragraph. See General points on linking style, fourth bullet point. I suggest you unlink the words crimes against humanity and then relink at the first use of that (or a similar) phrase in normal prose text as opposed to within a quotation.

Another suggestion is to click the "new section" tab on talk pages. Newer comments are added to the bottom, and older ones are at the top. You added yours to the top of my talk page, but I moved it to the bottom. That's OK - you will get used to these conventions as you edit more. I recommend editing and participating on Wikipedia as much as possible, time permitting. That's how you will get comfortable editing. Take care. Cullen328 (talk) 01:56, 15 April 2011 (UTC)
