Help with Bombardment of Greytown

Hi, I see from your draft you are hoping to add content to the article. You can go ahead and do that, just make sure to use WP:Inline citations so your work won't get challenged and removed. You may want to review WP:REFB for more help. Bobby Cohn (talk) 19:05, 10 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Bobby,

Thanks for your prompt reply.

I found this advice online: "If you plan to make substantial edits to a Wikipedia article, it is generally considered good practice to first draft your changes on the article's talk page, especially if the edits are significant or potentially controversial, allowing for discussion and feedback from other editors before implementing them directly on the article itself." To do this, it said to "Start a new section [add topic?] on the talk page.

Should I just copy everything in my sandbox draft, including the (appropriately modified) introduction, and paste it all into a new add-topic on the article's talk page?

Best, Will-DubDub

Hi Will-DubDub, yes that is an appropriate way to progress the article and add changes. Best, Bobby Cohn (talk) 18:03, 11 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Bobby,

I brought it over, as I suggested and you concurred. Hope you can take a look.

Thanks,
