Pathfinders

Hi,

I see that you added information about Pathfinders (Seventh-day Adventist) on your talk page.

Are you attempting to write an article - or draft some content to add to the Pathfinders article? If so, the proper place to add content like that is in your sandbox, User:StoryTrek/sandbox.

There's loads of information about what is proper content for a user page at WP:User pages and lots of ideas can be found at the Wikipedia:User page design center.

If there is any way that I can help out, please let me know.–CaroleHenson (talk) 03:16, 1 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Palo Flechado Pass‎

I removed this content as it does not have a cited source:

This Canadian River tributary that flows entirely in New Mexico, was originally known as the Le Flecha.

Do you have a source for this? If you have a link to a webpage, etc., I can help format it into a citation.–CaroleHenson (talk) 22:44, 1 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I see that you went ahead and made some more edits, but there were not sources for the content so I reverted it. I explained in greater detail what some of the issues were at Talk:Palo Flechado Pass#Recent edits. Ironically, the only edit that I found covered by the cited source was the one for La Flecha so I returned that. I am sorry that I missed that earlier.–CaroleHenson (talk) 06:59, 3 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

It seems like you have a lot of personal knowledge about the area, and I would be happy to work with you to find sources for the content. Adding content, though, without sources is a form of WP:Original research and Wikipedia is based upon the use of published, WP:Secondary sources.

Please feel free to ask me any questions.–CaroleHenson (talk) 07:02, 3 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your constructive comments & extra efforts tracking down citable independent sources. Some of my sources were Frontier Army Museum Library Archives & Oklahoma University's Western History Collection in Norman, OK. StoryTrek (talk) 02:20, 4 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, yes, I replied there. If you want me to look at something you can type {{u|CaroleHenson}} before the message and when it is signed by you and saved, I will be notified.

I modified your edit to Palo Flechado Pass. Please see this edit and edit summary. Does this make sense?–CaroleHenson (talk) 05:45, 4 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

{{u|CaroleHenson}} Makes sense when I get parens parsed in correct sequence! StoryTrek (talk) 14:07, 15 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
